Cre8 Work+Brunch is an initiative by Cre8 that aims to establish quarterly gatherings for Midlands black artists and creatives. The program includes focus groups to determine the feasibility of coordinating these gatherings, and opportunities for artists to showcase and sell their works. Cre8 believes that community advocacy is essential to ensuring stewardship of black creative culture. Special thanks to Alternate Roots, the Andrew Mellon Foundation and Optus Bank for funding this project.
