**Creative Catalyst 2025** is a forward-thinking, artist-led initiative powered by Mid Street Lab. More than just a network, it’s a dynamic movement of local creatives driving change through bold exhibitions, inclusive programming, and a shared commitment to community wellbeing.

Born out of the need for greater representation and accessibility in the arts, Creative Catalyst 2025 connects artists, curators, writers, and cultural workers across Brighton and beyond. Our programming reflects a belief that art is a tool for collective health and transformation. Through collaboration, public engagement, and dialogue, we aim to challenge the systemic barriers that keep working-class and underrepresented voices out of the art world—especially in a country where only 10% of gallery-represented artists come from working-class backgrounds.

Groundbreaking, generous, and unapologetically grassroots, Creative Catalyst 2025 is reimagining what a creative community can look like—one where opportunity, healing, and visibility are shared.
