This paper identifies a resilient type of creative individual who operates within the Crafts
sector in the periphery regions of Wales.
In comparison to the majority of other micro and small creative enterprises located in rural
areas, the Professional Creative Artist (Pro-C Artist) described here receives little recognition
in regional policymaking. Despite this lack of visible support, and in an economic climate
and geographic location where employment opportunities are limited, the number of Pro-C
Artists appears to be increasing. The lifestyle of this creative type is presented in this paper
as a ‘Pro-C Artist’ model of creativity; given the increase in this type of ‘pure art’ (Chaston,
2008) creative output within periphery regions this model is identified as an emerging future
direction for grass-roots creativity.
