Community Interest Company

About Imaginative Reaction

Imaginative Reaction CIC is a community-focused creative organisation established to support creatives from all backgrounds and ages through accessible arts opportunities. We operate as a Community Interest Company, with a mission to empower artist, strengthen communities, and provide inclusive spaces for creativity.

Our story

Carrying forward a simple but powerful idea.

The organisation exists to build inclusive creative opportunities that celebrate artists who may otherwise be overlooked, providing space for expression, visibility, and connection. Through exhibitions, open calls, and community-led projects, Imaginative Reaction continues Nick Fraser’s legacy by ensuring creativity is met with care, understanding, and opportunity.

At its heart, Imaginative Reaction CIC is about carrying forward a simple but powerful idea:
that when creativity is supported, people are empowered and communities are strengthened.
