WELCOME TO CREATIVE PEI

Culture PEI is excited to announce we have rebranded as Creative PEI. Creative PEI is not only a new name but a new approach. Creative PEI is expanding its scope beyond arts and culture to include all of the creative industries, but is keeping Culture PEI’s worker-first focus.

TRAINING FOR FILM PRODUCERS, WRITERS AND PRODUCTION MANAGERS

PEI Screenwriters’ Bootcamp will run from May 19th to May 24th and is expanding this year to offer additional training opportunities for producers and production managers.

HIVE PROGRAM POSTPONED

Creative PEI’s HIVE Youth Cultural Entrepreneurship Incubator program will not be offered this winter to allow the program to be redesigned.

Creative PEI expects to offer the new HIVE program later in 2018.

CULTURE STRATEGY RELEASED

The Province has released its new strategy for the culture and creative industries and has announced that it will spend an additional $3.5 million to support the action items outlined in the document.

  ATTRACTING TOP TALENT

In today’s competitive global labour marketplace, talented people seek out a vibrant arts scene and a creative community where bold new ideas and excellence are celebrated.

   INCREASING PROSPERITY

Arts, culture and creative industries contribute $123.2 million directly to PEI’s economy. They also contribute millions more indirectly as drivers of tourism and provincial branding.

  UNLEASHING CREATIVITY

A more creative society infused with optimism is empowered to find solutions to its biggest challenges in areas like education, healthcare and the environment.

  PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES

We partner with a wide range of sector organizations and funders to create and deliver skills development programs in three broad areas: professional skills, entrepreneurship and creativity.

  RESEARCH

We research labour market and business issues in the creative sector. We also gather research from other sources and make it available here on our website.

  COMMUNICATION

We are constantly developing new initiatives to promote creative collaboration within the creative sector, with other industry sectors and with the wider PEI community.
