Creative Leadership Programme: Exploring Critical Thinking in Leadership at The Whitworth

At the end of February, our Creative Leaders stepped into the inspiring spaces of The Whitworth for a deep dive into critical thinking and leadership in the arts. But this wasn’t your typical gallery visit — it was a day of imagination, debate, decision-making and bold creative vision. From directors to curators, from creative education practitioners to marketing and finance leads, our young people didn’t just look at art — they became the people shaping how it’s experienced.
