After 12 years, 2026 marks the last January Challenge from 64 Million Artists.

 

What started as a Facebook post with around 200 people joining in has grown into 360,000 people taking part in schools, workplaces, communities and families up and down the country, and beyond! We’ve made so many amazing partnerships with artists, community groups, and national campaigns and we are so proud of the legacy of everyday creativity we’ve left.

 

This year, we have created several free resources to help you host The January Challenge with your community, at home or at work. This includes a framework for gathering people together to take creative action towards change you want to see in the world! Explore the resources here

 

The world needs creativity now more than ever, and your creativity can and will change the world.We will miss you all next January but we hope you’ll keep up the tradition.
