About

About

Shifting perceptions on the value of creativity.

Shifting perceptions on the value of creativity.

This campaign champions creativity in a world where, as a career path, it is savagely undervalued by schools, governments, media, and even family. Often the path of least resistance is to shelve the dreams and get a ‘proper’ job. But creativity is essential to the nation - the arts and recreation sector employs 250,000 people. Our aim was to position Collarts squarely as a catalyst for creativity.
