Second sandpit on everyday creativity and place is under way after very personal sharing of stories about important places #ECsandpit2

Excellent article. Delves in the challenge of how #everydaycreativity can best be supported and nurtured by organisations and funders. @ecnetwork22

@FunPalaces we’re so pleased to be taking part in the 10th anniversary today!!

A simple and much needed solution to the arts funding crisis, opening the door to proper government support for #everydaycreativity's role in health/wellbeing and placemaking. @ecnetwork22 @TheNCCH

❤️ love for nature and imagination, a space of belonging and wellbeing

Read about the first sandpit for the AHRC Everyday Creativity Research Network from our blogger, Tamsin Bishton, here: blogs.brighton.ac.uk/everydaycreati… @ecnetwork22

@rometostandrews Such a wonderful book - his finest since Flaubert’s Parrot - and more apposite than ever.

‘You see my belief about art is that art is open for everyone. I mean, the thing of technique doesn’t come into anything; the thing of chance & randomness & spirit is definitely the most important thing’ - Mark Hollis (Talk Talk) in the wondrous *A Perfect Silence* @benwardle

‘We have a thing here where we say, “It’s the process, not the product.” That’s pretty important for me.’ - Peter Gabriel

There has been increasing interest in the role of the arts in addressing some of our most pressing public health challenges. On #WorldArtDay, an article in @TheLancetPH presents examples of promising policy developments: hubs.li/Q01Lz10p0

Such a powerful & important tweet. Diolch yn fawr, Harri!

Great to attend the @ecnetwork22 event on enriching creative research methods yesterday - my ponderings: the importance of creating a safe space; allowing enough time is crucial; building authentic relationships, trust cuts through everything co-creative

ECRN Creative Methods Sandpit Found Poem brighton.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/… @ecnetwork22 @NickEwbank @owen2e

Fantastic day with the AHRC Everyday Creativity Research Network. Qs around the intersections of the esoteric with the pragmatic; where, how and why we bound the concept of everyday creativities; when does representation become knowledge and knowledge become action? @ecnetwork22
