Join us for one last creative get-together before the Christmas break! It’ll be an informal evening of drinks, creative connections & a chance to explore GRAFT Studios, Sandown.
Join us for our final IW Creative Network networking event of 2026, this time at the fantastic GRAFT Studios in Sandown’s historic Old Town Hall. We’re bringing Island creatives together for a relaxed evening of drinks, conversation and connections, with an opportunity to explore GRAFT, discover more about this exciting creative space and meet some of the people behind it.
Founded by artists Emma Souter and Gareth Rees, GRAFT is a relatively new addition to the Island’s creative landscape, offering studio and flexible spaces for artists, makers and creative practitioners. It’s a brilliant example of the creative energy and ambition we’re seeing across the Island, and we’re delighted to be hosting our final gathering of the year there.
Whether you’re an artist, maker, designer, photographer, writer, performer, musician or working in another creative discipline, we’d love you to come along.

You don’t need to be an existing IW Creative Network member to join us. Whether you’re a familiar face at our gatherings or haven’t made it along before, this is a great opportunity to meet others, make connections and find out more about the network.
There’s no formal agenda or pressure to network – just an opportunity to get together, enjoy some good conversation and round off the creative year in great company.
