6 Jan 2026

Take your creative business to the next level with The Artery.

Step back, refocus, and reconnect with your creativity. The Artery’s six-session programme helps you align your business with your values, get paid fairly, and thrive as part of a supportive creative community.

Together with peers, you’ll explore how to:

  • Align your work with your values
  • Get paid fairly for what you do
  • Balance creativity with business management
  • Build a clear plan
  • Build connections in a supportive local network

Previous participants say The Artery gave them the time and space to step back, recalibrate, and reignite their passion, all while building lasting connections with other creatives.

There will be two programmes running from January 2026, one in Skipton and one in York.
