Creative Clicks: Free Digital Skills Programme for Artists and Aspiring Creatives Launches in Thurrock

by Arts Outburst on 22 April 2026

Residents in Thurrock are being invited to build their digital skills and confidence through Creative Clicks, a new free programme delivered by Arts Outburst and funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

Designed for artists, creatives, and those aspiring to work in the creative industries, the programme offers a welcoming and supportive space to develop practical digital skills. From content creation and video editing to personal branding and online storytelling, Creative Clicks is ideal for anyone looking to grow their creative practice or take their first steps into digital creativity.

The programme responds directly to the growing need for accessible digital skills in everyday life and employment, particularly for those looking to re-engage with learning, develop their creative voice, or build confidence using digital tools.

Running from May to July 2026 at Arts Outburst Studio in Grays, Creative Clicks will take place across six fortnightly sessions, giving participants time to build skills progressively while practising between workshops.

Arts Outburst has already seen strong interest in the programme, with initial participants signing up ahead of launch and further recruitment continuing to ensure a vibrant and supportive group.
