❓What would your city look like if you got to build it from scratch?
❓How would you move through it?
❓Where would you rest, create, grow?

These were some of the questions our Future Creative Leaders Meg, Lucia and Freya asked at their ‘Create Your Own Dream City’ workshop with Art in Mind for Brighton Festival last month.

They ran an open, creative afternoon making 2D and 3D collages from found materials. The focus of the workshop was on reimagining nature, transport and neighbourhood life through your hands.

Swipe to see some of the pieces of work made during the workshop.

🥳Lighthouse is officially 40! To celebrate, we’re building a creative legacy together✨
For four decades, we’ve championed creativity as a powerful force for confidence, connection and change. Along the way, we’ve supported thousands of people in discovering their voice, developing their skills, and finding their place in the creative world.

But independent creative spaces like Lighthouse are disappearing across the UK.
✨With , we’re inviting you to help the next generation of young creatives from underrepresented backgrounds access opportunities, develop their skills and shape culture for the future.

By giving monthly (even just the price of a coffee ☕), you can become part of our living legacy, supporting talent, opening doors and keeping creativity accessible for all.

Together, we can keep the Lighthouse on for the next generation of change makers.

"Community is actually about getting on and spending time with people who you don't necessarily fully share the same opinions with..." 🤝

Did you catch our sound booth that featured at all our events across ? Our Future Creative Leaderss used it to ask our community what it takes to build a better future.

And the answers you gave us were all about connection, shared traditions, and embracing our differences.
