My Creative Fort William
THE IDEA: Imagine a High Street full of art + cultural experiences, with wonderfully unique things to buy for yourself or as gifts for others ...
THE CREATIVES: Our area has a wealth of creative talent; designing, making, singing, playing, painting and writing unique and wonderful things. My Creative Fort William offers a platform to bring them all into one place, to share their creative ideas and products with you. We like to think that we’re picking up where the High Street drops off. We give these extremely creative, skilled artists and craftspeople an opportunity to showcase their talents.
We give you access buy directly from this fabulous and unique collection of local talent. Original paintings and prints, wonderful artisan crafts, photography, clothing and jewellery, all handmade, all individual, and all from our own creative Fort William.
CULTURE & HISTORY: Fort William and Lochaber is a unique place. Most of us know only a fraction of the varied and interesting history surrounding the area. Through the website, we’re attempting to address this with some surprising facts about the places and people that played a part in shaping Fort William. We want to share creative and cultural events that take place in the area. Want to know where the galleries are, when the next craft fair is on, and who’s exhibiting where? ... now you know where to look.
THE STREET: Ah the High Street. Like most towns, Fort William’s High Street is in a state of change. What a wonderful place it could be, if the creatives we represent were in the High Street. At the moment, that’s not possible. So while there are many great businesses in our street, we like to think we’re extending it just that little bit further for you.
