The UP Creative Community is a collective of local artists in Tamworth committed to sustainable textile waste management. We challenge fast fashion and encourage mindful consumption by repurposing unwanted fabrics into beautiful, useful items. Through our UPSkill programmes, we promote skills sharing, from basic sewing to advanced pattern cutting, providing a safe space for creativity to flourish. We collaborate with schools, charities, and local organisations to foster a culture of sustainability, body positivity, and thoughtful consumption. Our consultancy services extend to commerce, education, and the third sector, helping institutions rethink their approach to resource use and sustainability. Join us in making a positive impact on our community and environment. Each artwork tells a story of ingenuity and environmental stewardship, reflecting the beauty of our surroundings while also reducing waste. By supporting our local artists, you’re not just investing in art – you’re championing a greener, more sustainable future for our community.

So why not join us? Come down, explore our gallery, and discover the magic of art made with purpose and passion. Support your local artists and be a part of something truly special. Together, let’s create a brighter, more environmentally-friendly world, one masterpiece at a time.
