Conversations

In our experience, creativity is fueled by conversation. Other than your creative medium, nothing communicates directly from that inner spark like you voicing your ideas, projects and passion. So, we’ve set about discussing the many avenues of creativity with people across Southampton, connecting you with the city's community.

If you’d like to get involved in or have an idea for INNER AVENUE, we’d love to hear from you. Find a form on our contact page to get the conversation started.

Join the Conversation

There is no right way to express creativity, that's why I'm on a mission to hear from as many people as possible. Whether it's a short or long conversation, you'd count yourself as "creative" or not, pop your name down!
