The State of the Arts: one year on | Campaign for the Arts Five charts that tell us something about the health of the arts in the UK in 2025.

The new #StateOfTheArts report from
@campaignforthearts.org
shows deepening inequalities in arts access.

At Create, we saw during #CreateWeek just how powerful creativity can be - and how vital it is to make it available to everyone.

🖋️ Day 2 of #CreateWeek is all about writing - and today, we’re spotlighting a beautiful example from our art:links programme with older adults.
Thank you to @citybridgefndn.bsky.social  and The Charity of Sir Richard Whittington [via The Mercers' Company] for funding this project.

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! 🗝️ 🎨
