The Odd Rocket Collective CIC is the result of a couple of frustrated creative minds seeking an outlet and a community. After many long nights brainstorming and long days dreaming, we finally realised what it is that we needed to do: build a new creative hub, in Truro, for all those other pent-up artistic souls to gather, commune, collaborate and create.
We were craving community, connection, and SPACE. A space to make real our ideas, to feel safe and nourished, and that we could share with others. So we asked, and the universe delivered (in that way that it inevitably does) a delightful space at the wonderful Old Bakery Studios, in Truro, and we began to craft our vision.
The Collective exists to facilitate ideas, support individuals, and connect creative (and art-curious) people together. As a CIC we hope to gain financial support to sustain the group from grants and subscriptions, but start up costs are a thing and we would love to hit the ground running when we launch 'officially' in April.
The more we can raises ourselves through crowdfunding, the easier it will be for us to attract match funding from places like Truro Council, FEAST and The National Lottery - so this is a really important part of creating a strong foundation.
So we need your support! You can subscribe for as little as £5 per month via our website or Patreon, or donate any amount right here - and it will all go towards the running of the Collective, from workshops and casual groups to events big and small, and whatever our members desire in between.
Big, big thanks for reading, and even bigger thanks if you've donated - please do sign up to our mailing list via the website or follow us on socials to see how we are putting the money to good use.
