About the Conference

The 2024 Everyday Creativity Conference is an opportunity to share understandings and ways of working with/for everyday creativity (EC). Our confirmed speakers include Dr Mark Taylor (University of Sheffield and Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre), Will Gompertz (author of ‘Think Like an Artist’), and nominees for the 2024 Creative Lives Awards.

The event connects different sectors, disciplines and contexts, forging new paths forwards to support EC theory and practice. The 2024 conference is also a celebration of everyday creative practice, showcasing the achievements of groups and projects that provide creative activity for people of all ages and abilities across the UK and Ireland. It is aimed at: academics and postgraduate researchers from the social sciences, arts, humanities and beyond; creative practitioners (including craftspeople, creative writers, musicians comedians, entrepreneurs and others); healthcare professionals; and members of community/third sector organisations.  We welcome proposals from all of these groups.
