King’s partners with local organisations in the new cultural compact Create Cambridge

Initiated by cultural organisations based in and around Cambridge along with the city’s universities, Create Cambridge aims to support the development of the cultural sector in the region.

Create Cambridge is a new cultural compact for the Cambridge City Region – an initiative born from a series of conversations hosted at King's that follows a proven model used across the country for catalysing cultural development through long-term cross sector partnerships.

As well as King’s College, Create Cambridge involves organisations such as Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge City Council, Cambridge Curiosity & Imagination, Cambridge Junction, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Raspberry Pi Foundation, and Wysing Arts Centre.

The vision of Create Cambridge is to position Cambridge as a truly International City of Culture, one which embraces diverse perspectives and artistic expressions, building on the city’s strength in research and innovation, and enabling us to tell new stories that might also help us design a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Create Cambridge envisions a city where culture is not just celebrated but serves as a dynamic force for positive change, inclusivity, and the pursuit of shared ambitions.

By embracing collaboration, celebrating diversity, and surfacing and addressing inequities, Create Cambridge aspires to make Cambridge not just a city with a storied past but a city whose story is continually unfolding - with this new narrative shaped by its people and the genius of this place.
