Creatives Wings
Creatives Wings is a mission-driven organisation dedicated to supporting emerging talent and promoting creative social responsibility. Through mentorship, collaborations, cultural initiatives and residencies, it provides creatives with opportunities to develop their practice through studio space at Mast, The Margate School of Art, optional accommodation at Kingsgate Castle, high-profile events, and global media support through Trendease International. It also curates an online collection and two apartments — “living showrooms” — within Kingsgate Castle that celebrate designers, makers and organisations creating meaningful positive impact.
Founder of Creatives Wings and Trendease International, Jennifer Castoldi has spent her 30-year career championing emerging designers and responsible making across the globe. With Creatives Wings, she is building a platform that genuinely supports emerging talent — through curation, visibility, sales and creative partnerships that make a difference, with a network extending into more than 190 countries.
The Creatives Wings studio at Mast hosts two creative residents at a time. To collaborate, get in touch via creatives-wings.com or @creativeswings.
