Inspiring innovation
It's time to celebrate creative industries as a sector harnessed by every business on the Isle of Man.
That's the message from Kate Brier who is helping to coordinate a range of functions in Douglas Market Hall over the summer.
MakeMarket: Creative Industries Takeover is an extension of events organised by the Department of Economic Development since December.
The aim is to prompt cross-trade working in design, crafts, art and music between now and mid-September.
It's expected to inspire innovation here, as Kate explained:
Reports of people not listening to marshals on day one of MGP
Arrow returns to service after repairs
A Manx bap and chicken katsu curry included in new school menu
Study finds Isle of Man's clothing offering rates poorly for women
