Creative Kernow is the creative and cultural sector support organisation for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. It is a charity with a core mission to enrich and energise creative communities through the production, distribution and promotion of artistic work.
Its programmes fall into three dynamically overlapping areas:
Cultural Engagement: Carn to Cove, C Fylm, FEAST, Cornwall 365 What’s On

Together, these programmes support the production, promotion and distribution of work by creative practitioners in Cornwall.
As part of Creative Kernow, Krowji Ltd is funded by Arts Council England as part of its National Portfolio programme and by Cornwall Council as a strategic client.
Our key partners for Phase 1 of our redevelopment project were Cornwall Council, Cornwall Development Company, Arts Council England, Redruth Town Council and the European Regional Development. The project was funded by Triodos Bank and other investors with match funding from ERDF via the Convergence Programme..
