Linkage the key to sector success
It's hoped increasing links between Isle of Man 'creatives' will expand the fledgling industry.
Dozens of artists, writers, technical experts, producers, poets and other enterprising talent attended a networking event at Noa Bakehouse over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
Organisers the Isle of Man Creative Industries Group want such ventures to generate more linkage between individuals in diffrent artistic genres - to promote a defined sector and ultimately, create jobs.
Department of Economic Development strategy manager Helen Fox says it's a collaborative effort:
