Isle of Man Creative Industries will be holding a quick-fire networking event at Noa Bakehouse tomorrow. Partners will be given just five minutes in which to discuss, debate, dissect and devour creative ideas and links between them before rotating to meet another professional.

Attending creative professionals will be bringing along images, portfolios, business cards, details of websites blogs, and social media pages. The event will be held from 6 - 8pm 24th March at Noa Bakehouse and will be hosted by Helen Fox, Head of Arts Faculty at Isle of Man College of Further and Higher Education and Kirsty Neate, Head of Professional Services, Manx National Heritage, Eiraght Ashoonagh Vannin.

Jane Jelski, Education & Economic Strategy Manager, Department of Economic Development said:

‘The Department for Economic Development are proud to partner with Isle of Man Creative Industries to support this event. I would encourage any professional or aspiring amateur who consider themselves a “creative” to attend.’

Helen Fox, Head of Arts Faculty at the Isle of Man College, said:

‘I am delighted to have been asked to host this event and hope that it will foster some new partnerships and collaborations. The Isle of Man is very lucky to have so many talented resident artists, designers and creative individuals. Many creatives work independently so the evening should prove an excellent opportunity to make new contacts in the industry.’
