Young Creative Entrepreneurs Project 2025

Join this project and tell us about the support you need to take your creative business to the next level.

William Morris Gallery has an exciting opportunity for creatives in Waltham Forest. As part of a pilot project (and Master’s dissertation study) we are looking into how the Gallery can better support creative careers for young people in the borough of Waltham Forest.

We are now recruiting both Young Creative participants and established Creative Mentors for the project.

Please apply by Friday 18 April 2025.

Young Creatives

We are seeking to recruit 5 young creative entrepreneurs (aged 18-30) who live, work, or study in Waltham Forest and are looking for advice, support, and connections to level up their small creative business ideas.

Those selected for participation will gather for a 2-hour focus group at the end of April to guide the direction of this project in a way that would suit each person’s needs best.

Each young person will then be paired with established creatives in the borough through a networking event and a 4-week mentorship programme.

If you think this might be of interest, please sign up! You don’t need to have an established business, just an entrepreneurial spirit.

Creative Mentors

Are you an established creative or creative business owner living and working in Waltham Forest? Would you have time to commit to this project?

Please complete the sign up form and we’ll come back to you with more details.
