Celtic Creative Collective

A Community of Artists, Makers & Storytellers

Who Are We?

Celtic Creative Collective (CCC) is a cross-border alliance of independent artists, writers, illustrators, performers, designers, and creative thinkers. With roots in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, our studio is a celebration of identity, creative freedom, and cultural diversity.

We are a collaborative, creator-owned collective—where independence is preserved, and community is nurtured. Whether you're an emerging artist or an established voice, CCC offers a space where ideas are heard, projects are supported, and art thrives.

What Do We Do?

At CCC, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
We produce:

• Shared Collaborative Projects: These are joint creative ventures—anthologies, exhibitions, community events, theatre, books, comics and digital productions—where artists pool talent and share the spotlight.
• Individual Creator-Led Works: Through our resources, funding model, and mentorship, we help members bring their personal projects to life.

Our shared infrastructure gives artists access to:

• Printing, production, and marketing support
• A broader audience through our unified platform
• Distribution channels and exhibition opportunities
• Peer collaboration and creative critique

By working together, we amplify reach, reduce individual overheads, and support each other's growth. Many hands do make light work—but also better work.

What Are We Trying to Achieve?

We believe that art should be sustainable—not just inspiring.
Our goals are to:

• Create and Grow: Constantly develop and publish new work across mediums—visual, written, digital, and performance-based.
• Offer Access & Opportunity: Provide a stepping-stone for new artists, especially those with fewer connections or resources, to break into creative industries.
• Strengthen the Arts Economy: Contribute meaningfully to Ireland's creative sector by building viable paths for artistic careers.

Our long-term vision is to establish CCC as a self-sustaining creative hub where artists can earn, grow, and make a lasting cultural impact.

What Makes Us Different?

We operate on a hybrid model of cooperation and independence:

• Shared (Public) Projects: Open calls for creators to collaborate on collective works. Contributions are pooled, profits are split equally among contributors, with a percentage reinvested into the collective to fund infrastructure and outreach.
• Private (Member-Led) Projects: CCC accepts proposals from members and supports projects based on artistic value, community relevance, and audience appeal. Whether it's funding for materials, printing costs, production assistance, or promotional help—if it's got potential, we'll help make it happen. Profits stay with the artist, with a portion reinvested to sustain CCC's operations.

This model creates a dynamic system where creativity is both nurtured and professionally supported.

Why Should You Care About Us?

Because art matters—and artists deserve to thrive.

While appreciation for creativity is universal, artists often face barriers to making their passion a profession. We're here to change that.
CCC is about turning creativity into livelihood.

By treating art as both expression and enterprise, we empower creators to do what they love—while getting paid for it. We're building a space where artistic talent isn't just celebrated, but sustained.

How Can You Support Us?

There are many ways to get involved and keep the creativity flowing:

• Follow us on social media and help spread the word
• Subscribe to our newsletter for updates, calls for artists, and events
• Contribute your talent to one of our upcoming collaborative projects
• Submit a proposal for a personal project you'd like to bring to life
• Join our collective and become part of a growing artistic movement
• Share our mission with friends, family, and fellow creatives

Every like, share, or submission helps fuel the arts and makes a real difference to independent creators.

Together, we create. Together, we rise.
