Have you recently graduated from Uni and planning to return to the Isle of Wight? Or are you currently studying on the IW and trying to find roots into the creative industries but don’t know where to start?
If you’re aged between 18-25 yrs, and interested in developing a career in the creative industries, then this opportunity is designed to help support you!
Opportunity for Young Island Creatives in 2025:

- Access opportunities, events, networking, training, away days off-island and build your own online profile
- FREE mentoring support sessions when you join to help build connections and your creative business development.
You might be looking to launch your music career, or developing live performance work, visual art, publishing, fashion, creative production or heritage – whatever your creative practice, the IW Creative Network is here to support you through our current initiative with Brave Island.
Brave Island is a platform set up through Ventnor Exchange, to provide more creative opportunities for young people living on the Isle of Wight. They offer mentoring, funding, experiences, and training, there’s something new every week and everything is completely free to take part in.
In collaboration with Brave Island, we’re giving away x5 places for this opportunity for young Island creatives. We want to make sure young people on the Isle of Wight thrive in their creative practice and believe that living on an Island or in a rural location shouldn’t stop you from doing the things you want to do!
So, if you’re not sure how to develop your creative ideas, who to connect with, or how to begin collaborating with others, then sign up at www.braveisland.uk and apply now.
Apply now via Brave Island! Deadline to apply 1st July 2025, 11.59pm
