About Create

Create is an Arts & Cultural development agency operating throughout the Borough of Scarborough. We are a not-for-profit voluntary organisation dedicated to maximising the social and economic benefits of the arts for all. Create is run by an executive committee made up of creative professionals and representatives from other arts organisations, the voluntary sector, and academics. Create employs two workers, one in Scarborough and more recently, one in Whitby.
