A vibrant, dynamic and sustainable creative ecosystem, incorporating industry, art and culture, provides an attractive and exciting place to live and work, and also helps attract other likeminded people to the Region. This ultimately can lead to an inter-connected and inspired creative community with potential to grow and develop for the benefit of the region as a whole.
The term ‘Creative Industries’ can be used to encapsulate a wide range of jobs and activities, from film and television production to graphic design, visual arts and music.
The South West Development Commission’s role in this space is to collaborate with industry bodies, local government associations, and community groups to identify key opportunities to enable economic development and job creation in the region, and to provide guidance on pathways to achieve sustainable growth in the sector.
The South West has long attracted creative talent, providing an inspiring environment where artists, designers, makers, performers and digital creators can live, work and thrive. This diverse community enriches the region’s character, contributes to vibrant local experiences and strengthens its cultural identity.
The South West’s distinctive landscapes, creative capability and strong industry networks have also helped establish the region as an increasingly sought-after destination for film and screen productions, generating opportunities for local creatives, businesses and communities.
Creativity is an important contributor to the South West economy, generating cultural, social and commercial value through sectors including design, digital technologies, film, music, visual arts and creative services.
The South West Development Commission works with the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) and regional partners to foster a vibrant creative ecosystem that supports innovation, attracts talent, creates employment opportunities and enhances the region’s liveability and distinct identity.
