Legacy-work

As 64 Million Artists launch the last January Challenge and prepare to close our Public Programme, we are keen to give away as many resources, learning and tools as we can to support the legacy of our work and keep the ripples of everyday creativity flowing.

If you have enjoyed The January Challenge over the years and want to support this legacy work, please consider a small donation to help us:

  • Create a user-friendly, free to access Resource Library compiled of over 500 creative prompts, tailored packs for different community groups and inspiring podcasts and recorded workshops

  • Offer final sharing and community events to support the 64 Million Artists community to use the resources and self organise future campaigns

Your support is greatly appreciated.

With love and courage from the team at 64 Million Artists
