About Family Arts Campaign
The Family Arts Campaign is the largest, national, cross-art form initiative to increase access to arts and culture for families of all ages.

The Family Arts Campaign’s mission is to ensure that every child and family in the country has access to a range of high-quality creative and cultural opportunities, regardless of their social background or where they live. We support the cultural sector to understand and support the diverse needs of families from all backgrounds, particularly those who may not think arts and culture is “for them”.

As an Investment Principle Support Organisation within Arts Council England’s National Let’s Create Portfolio, the Family Arts Campaign supports cultural providers to become more inclusive and relevant to families, particularly families who are underserved, or who may be at the risk of exclusion.
