In an age where creativity, collaboration, and community are more accessible than ever Midtown Creatives has launched a peer-to-peer network to reshape how artisans tell their creative stories, explore new opportunities, and navigate complex regulations such as the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR).

Exploring New Opportunities in 2025

The future of the craft sector is bright, and 2025 will bring even more exciting prospects where craftspeople can now reach wider markets with ease. In particular, emerging trends in sustainability, ethical sourcing, and upcycling align perfectly with the values of many artisans. Peer-to-peer networks provide a platform for artisans to connect with like-minded individuals and organisations, allowing them to explore these opportunities together.
