Today is the last day of The January Challenge 2026 - and the final day of the final January Challenge! We have LOVED the last 12 years of creativity, and hearing about, seeing and sharing so many wonderful moments of creativity with everyone who has taken part.

We know that moments of creativity create ripple effects in the world. We'd love to hear about yours. Today, your prompt is to take a moment to reflect, and then share a story about how creativity has made a change for you in your life. Big, small, and anything and everything in between. It is ALL welcome.

Use this link: padlet.com/64MA/thejanuarychallenge2026 to share your story or upload images or a voice note about a moment of impact creativity has had in your life. You might choose to write or talk about The January Challenge - or any of the (64 Million) ways creativity shows up in the world.

Write a letter to someone. Anyone of your choice. Pick the first person who came into your mind.

Express how you feel about them or share something you’d like to tell them.

Once you’ve written your letter, think about what you’d like to do with it. You could hand deliver it, post it, read it aloud whilst thinking about or remembering them – or you could burn it!

A Quiet Conversation by HIVEMIND

Day 29: A Quiet Conversation

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Diwrnod 29: Sgwrs Dawel

English

Cymraeg

"In social care, and in life, no one thrives alone. People, objects, and environments are constantly in quiet conversation, supporting us in ways we sometimes overlook. A hand reaching for another, the comfort of a familiar chair, the shared rhythm of daily routines, these connections help us all get through the day. For people living in care, these moments of interdependence are not only vital, they are deeply human.

Sometimes, what stands out most is something that looks or feels different from its surroundings. A single flower breaking through concrete, a person whose story takes another path, an object placed out of place. Yet even in difference, connection and support hold these things steady, just as the care system helps carry those who need it most."

Your challenge: Look closely for hidden connections.

Where do you notice people, objects, or places relying on each other?
How do small, ordinary interactions create extraordinary meaning?
Where does difference find its strength through connection?
What stories do these connections tell us about belonging, care, and

resilience?

Respond in any form that speaks to you, a photograph, a sketch, a poem, or a reflection.

Weave Together by Wales Arts Health and Well-being Network (in Partnership with Hapus)

Caroline — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 00:01:55 +0000

Day 27: Weave Together

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Diwrnod 27: Gwehyddu gyda’i Gilydd

English

Cymraeg

Today's theme is 'weave'. To create a weave, use natural materials like sticks or leaves and weave them together to create a simple pattern.

You could also use strips of paper or material or pastry…or your fingers!

Reflect on what you have woven together in your life - the people, places, ideas and experiences. What do you hope to weave together in the future? What weaves are you part of?

WAHWN are working with Chris Elliot to explore the craft of weaving - learn more about weaving here, and, if you like, find instructions on how to create a weave in nature!

Weave | Gwehyddu is Wales’ national arts, health and wellbeing conference. The conference organised by WAHWN in partnership with Wrexham University and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, aims to bring together 150+ creative practitioners, health and social care professionals, and policy makers from across the country to celebrate Wales’ arts and health programmes and address the need for a long-term preventative approach to tackling health inequalities and pressures on services.

Pick 5 random objects around you and gather them together.

Find a connection between all of them, no matter how random your selection! What do they have in common?

English

Cymraeg

Use your phone or camera to capture either the view from your window.

Don’t overthink! Take what feels honest, not perfect.

Consider how light, shadow, time of day, or weather influence the view.

Take multiple shots, from different angles, with/without you in it.

Has your view of the world, or yourself, changed over time?

How does the world appear through your current lens?

"I collaborate on creative projects with people of all ages and I’ve had the privilege of working with older people in care home settings. I use cameras and technology and this has been a very accessible way to make work. This prompt is designed in a way that can be done as a solo challenge or one with a carer, friend or relative. Participants of all ages can give it a try."

A Funeral for…by the 64 Million Artists Community

Day 24: A Funeral for...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Diwrnod 24: Angladd ar gyfer...

English

Cymraeg

Think of something you have been meaning to let go of.

It might be a chapter in your life, a piece of clothing or an old banana in the fruit bowl...

Hold a funeral for it. Celebrate or mark the time you had together with it.

If it's a feeling or event in your life, you might write your thoughts down and speak it aloud - letting it go into the wind.

If it's an object, you might pass it forwards, re-purpose it, or simply take the time to say thank you, and goodbye.

This prompt was co-created in a 64MA community group with DEAD GOOD, creative death workers and arts-based death educators.

Day 23: Pen Explorer

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Diwrnod 23: Fforiwr Pensel

English

Cymraeg

Imagine your pen is an explorer.

Begin on the left hand side of a page, what kind of landscape or path does the explorer first encounter? Spiky mountains, winding squiggly roads, a deep sea? Continue to take your pen through a landscape of textures until you reach the end of the page.

Can you recognise any patterns in the journey of your pen, and any journeys you have taken in your life?

Day 22: I Aspire…

Cymraeg

Use the writing template below to explore the things that you can do, or the things that you know, because of the place or community you are from.

I come from....therefore I CAN.....

“In my library, I notice that local young people can lack aspiration, and tell me it’s because of where they’re from. They say if they were from a big city they could do this, and that, but not here. I want them to think about what they CAN do, because of what they know about themselves and the world, BECAUSE of where they’re from. It could be a really small thing!”
