Whether you're an artist, arts lover, arts administrator, arts marketer, community builder, politician, or someone who would just like to comment, please share a story with us—leave a short comment, quote, or long anecdote to let us know how arts and creativity have impacted your life.

Some prompts to get you thinking:

-What role does creativity play in your everyday life?

-Can you recall a memory of an artistic or cultural experience that had a significant impact for you or others?

-If you work in the arts, culture, and heritage sector, what drives you to keep working in this industry?

-In what ways have the arts helped you connect with others or build a sense of community?

-How have arts and cultural experiences changed your understanding of and empathy towards others?

-Has participating in an arts and culture activity ever helped to improve your wellbeing and health?

What you share here will be helpful for us in informing our programming for next year! Your stories will help us create informative communications for our platforms, which will help the public gain interest and insight into the importance of uplifting arts and culture initiatives in our communities.

Please note, if you choose to remain anonymous, we will use the information internally and it will not be shared publicly.
