CREATE: A miniature artwork with Tinky

A vibrant arts and cultural sector helps communities thrive. Language, history, education, music, art and architecture are among the most important ways we shape our identities and express ourselves in daily life.  Alongside environmental, economic and social factors, these contribute significantly to our individual and communal sense of wellbeing. Arts and culture spark imaginations, cultivate innovation, boost economies, create connections and give voice to those who might not otherwise be heard.
