Get Creative is a campaign that celebrates and supports the everyday creativity happening in homes and public spaces across the UK. Get Creative aims to inspire people to try something new at home or at a Get Creative event and to encourage people to share their own examples of everyday creativity. The campaign works with arts, cultural and community organisations to create participatory events that are accessible for everyone.
It also aims to raise and increase the profile of grassroots practice within communities, using different BBC platforms and beyond.
