Get Creative Networking Event - Birmingham

SAVE THE DATE: GET CREATIVE NETWORKING EVENT

You are invited to a networking event on Tuesday 2nd February at 9.30am to find out more about the Get Creative campaign and Get Creative Day.

All across the country in early 2016 the Get Creative core team from the BBC and What Next? will invite Get Creative Champions, our Stakeholder networks, members of What Next? Chapters and local BBC colleagues to discuss Get Creative.

This is your chance to find out our plans for the campaign in 2016 and how you can get involved in Get Creative Day on 2nd April. It will also be an opportunity to tell us how we can help you as we enter our second year of 'getting creative'.

We hope to see you there.

Please RSVP and let us know if you can attend as spaces are limited.

What is Get Creative?
Get Creative is a campaign that encourages participation in creative activities and that recognises and celebrates the arts and culture that happen every day across the nation. The campaign encourages arts and cultural organisations of all shapes and sizes to put on free events that enable people to develop their own creativity. Launched in February 2015 by the BBC and What Next? with help from Timothy Spall, Johnny Vegas and Lily Cole, the campaign now has over 1000 Get Creative 'Champions' committed to running inspiring, motivating and free Get Creative events. The campaign is supported by a BBC website which provides inspiration through masterclasses and top tips, stories and events from our Champions and profiles that celebrate our everyday artists.

What is Get Creative Day?
On the 2nd April 2016, Get Creative is inviting everyone to come together and celebrate creativity in all its shapes and forms. We are asking Get Creative Champions and any other arts or creative organisations who would like to join in to open their doors and put on a free event - anything that inspires people to get involved and try something new such as a workshop, masterclass or backstage tour. The important thing is to do it together on one day and make it fun.

Get Creative Workshops
In February 2016 the Get Creative team from the BBC and What Next? will host a series of networking events to discuss the Get Creative campaign and Get Creative Day. This will be an opportunity to start thinking about events or activities you could put on for Get Creative Day in April, and it will also be a chance to hear how you can be part of the Get Creative campaign as it continues in 2016.
