Create is the UK’s leading charity empowering lives, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing through the creative arts. Our focus is on engaging participants in inspiring, sustainable arts programmes in areas where provision is poor and engagement in the arts is therefore low.

We design and deliver creative arts workshops led by professional artists, to engage communities who don’t normally get the chance to be creative. Create works in collaboration with community partners (eg schools, hospitals, young carer services, etc) to design bespoke workshops with each individual group, delivering around 100 projects each year.

All Create artists are highly experienced professional practising artists in a range of fields, who work on a freelance basis once they have been appointed to the charity’s pool.

Create artists work in a range of fields including visual art, photography, filmmaking, dance, drama, writing and more. We are always keen to hear from artists with other specialisms too.

Create artists facilitate projects across the UK, but are assigned to either the London or North West hub, whichever is closest to their home.

Create is committed to a policy of equal opportunities embracing diversity in all areas of activity and welcomes applications from disabled people and people of all ethnicities.

“Working for Create is very easy, because the charity is really well organised: from planning sessions, to Create staff being present, to the evaluation processes. It is always a pleasure.”

Create Artist Mike Poyser
