Tell us a little about The Family Arts Campaign!
The Family Arts Campaign helps connect more families with arts and cultural opportunities.
We work with over 3,000 museums, theatres, galleries, libraries, dance companies, orchestras and more across the UK to help welcome people like you!
Over 700 organisations now hold the Family Arts Standards kite mark which shows that effective family provision is at the heart of their offer.
Why did you start the Family Arts Campaign and Fantastic for Families?Β
We started the Family Arts Campaign because we know how important it is for families to find ways to spend time together through participating in and enjoying creative and cultural activities.
We want to support more organisations to have better family programming and facilities in order to welcome and engage more families, particularly for families who might not feel arts and culture are for them.
Creative participation is for everyone, no matter your age and what better way to experience arts and culture than with your family!
We started Fantastic for Families because we know how hard it can be to find events and activities that are on your doorstep and are going to be fun for all the family.
We bring thousands of family friendly events together in one space where you can find something for you at the click of a button!
Why is it important to get families out and involved with the arts?
Participating together in creative activities and experiences has been proven to improve key skills in communication, literacy and empathy.
Thereβs also research that demonstrates that bringing families together through arts and culture can positively affect relationships and familial bonding. But above all itβs great fun!
