The Creative Isle Community Rail Partnership is a collaboration between Turner Contemporary, Southeastern, and Thanet District Council. We aim to welcome visitors to Thanet and offer a voice for the community through art and creativity, enabling local organisations and groups to work together to animate railway stations and trains.
What we do
The work we do at Creative Isle Community Partnership incorporates the four pillars of the Department for Transport’s Community Rail Development Strategy:
Providing a voice for the community
Promoting sustainable, healthy, and accessible travel
Bringing communities together and supporting diversity and inclusion
Supporting social and economic development
How we do it
As a partner of Turner Contemporary, many of our projects are inspired by the gallery’s programme. We are also passionate about enhancing people’s journeys along the railway through creative resources that explore stations, the gallery, and the landscape that connects them. Our work is guided by four key themes:
The Environment
Creative Education
An Accessible Railway
Community Collaboration
We are always looking to work with new collaborators. If you have an idea you’d like to explore at your local station in Thanet, we’d love to hear from you.
The Community Rail Partnership is generously supported by Southeastern.
