TVCA Creative Place Investment approach
TVCA has a strategic, region-wide remit and position and is strongly networked across the region and beyond in all business sectors. This enables us to be a powerful convenor to support collaboration, knowledge sharing and partnership working.
TVCA’s Creative Place team isn’t an invisible investor / funder – we work in partnership with the people, organisations and businesses we support. This partnership approach ensures that the Creative Place team is embedded in the sector and responsive to its needs.
The people, organisations and businesses TVCA supports can take advantage of the resources, intelligence and partnerships held within TVCA. This approach aims to ensure TVCA invests in projects which are well connected and embedded across the Tees Valley and learning and knowledge is widely shared.
TVCA’s approach to investment is made with consideration of the most effective way of achieving our purpose – to drive economic growth and job creation. Therefore, our investments in the cultural sector will support organisations in making step-changes and help create conditions for the sector to thrive, rather than the content of creative projects.
