For some activities, the “engagement gap” between the most and least deprived people in England significantly widened last year, like going to the theatre, a concert or gig, and making music.
For others, that gap closed slightly, like going to the cinema and taking photos as a hobby.
What hasn’t changed is the need for opportunities in all our everyday lives to engage with art – both to experience and to make it.
Which is why we celebrate initiatives like Create Week – providing free resources by professional artists to take part in creative activities like song-writing, filmmaking, and collage.
We believe everyday engagement with the arts is key to a healthy, connected society where everyone can unlock their creative potential. That’s why we champion initiatives like #CreateWeek and encourage everyone to get involved! 🗝️ 🎨
