This is the home of Coventry’s Culture Works Collective.

In typical – gently radical – fashion, Coventry has taken the decision that its Cultural Strategy should be collectively devised, owned and delivered. The Culture Works Collective is the method we have devised to make this happen.


What is the Culture Works Collective? Some information on what it is, and how it works.

Who are the Reps? A bit more about who is involved.

If you want to get in touch, there’s a form here.


How did all this begin?

You can find a condensed origin story explaining how the original The Future Works (FWI) event (where the Culture Works Collective was born) came into being on the ‘Background‘ page, and further historical context of F13 (small scale/independent/freelance sector)’s journey to this point – recorded in intermittent blog posts here. The audio story that opened TFWI event is here; the points of discussion from TFWI are here; there’s data about who attended here, and some feedback from attendees here.

Originally this site was made as a quick way to share the materials prepared for The Future Works event, held at Coventry Cathedral on January 18th 2024, but since then, much has changed and so the site is expanding!
