Creative Folkestone (formerly The Creative Foundation), is a UK charity dedicated to art and culture, based in Folkestone, Kent, UK. It is responsible for the Creative Folkestone Triennial, the Quarterhouse (a theatre and event space) and Folkestone's Creative Quarter. The trust was set up to demonstrate how creative activity can help make Folkestone a better place better to live, work, play and visit. The trust manages approximately 90 buildings, providing work and living spaces for a wide variety of creatives. In 2008, it organised the first Folkestone Triennial, the UK’s largest exhibition of newly-commissioned public art, with the fifth Triennial scheduled for July 2021. Commissions of permanent artworks add to the town's outdoor art gallery, Folkestone Artworks.
