Clothing brand Elvine presents Creators Inn – offering free accommodation
for visiting creators.
Partnering with different local independent organizers Creators Inn by Elvine has been offering visiting creators short-term accommodation. Totally free. No hidden fees. The project is constantly evolving and have been opened in three locations so far.
We have a very wide definition of creators. The reason for coming to town is more important than the title on your business card. We try to support up and coming creators of different kinds, the ones that would normally end up on someone’s couch. To find them Creators Inn by Elvine works first and foremost with local independent organizers offering their guests a place to stay.
But everyone is welcome to register and motivate why they should be granted a stay. Foreign visitors are prioritized. But you need what we call a “valid reason” to stay at our Inn. A valid reason is some sort of creative activity, preferably together with local creators or something that incorporates the city in some way. For instance, meeting up an old friend to go clubbing is (unfortunately) not a valid reason to be granted a free stay.
Local partners include: Elvine, Koloni, Pecha Kucha GBG, Cheesy Not Cheesy & more.
Creators Inn by Elvine is a work in progress. The project is continuously improved and changes over time, due to new ideas, complaints or wishes from ourselves, our guests and you, the homepage visitors. Please let us know your thoughts and ideas about this project by sending us an email

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) have been a buzz word in the corporate world for quite some time now. CSR is basically about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society. Too often this tend to result in nothing more than superficial window-dressing.
With Creators Inn by Elvine we tried to add some creativity to the equation, labeling what we do as CSR - Creative Social Responsibility. By offering visiting creators free accommodation, we hope to remind people of a lovely little thing called hospitality. And in addition to making the visiting creators happy and Gothenburg a more interesting city because of their presence, we hope this simple idea can be exported and implemented around the globe. What a wonderful world that would result in.
