What we do.
Get It Done imagines a future where people feel supported to address pressing social issues through creativity and collective action, leading to lasting positive change in our local communities.
Our work is twofold:
1. PROJECTS.
We produce creative projects and events that engage local communities and drive positive social impact.
2. EDUCATION.
We support the next generation of creative leaders. Our programmes give young people the tools to take action, lead community projects and bring bold ideas to life.
We do this through:
1. Creative community projects.
We produce participatory creative projects that bring people together around local issues, ideas and experiences.
We meet people where they are; from long-term programmes to one-off events and creative consultations, we use accessible and often playful approaches to involve people who might not usually engage with traditional arts or consultation processes. Projects are shaped around the people we're working with and can combine making, conversation, research, events and activity in public and community spaces.
This could look like:
-
Creative community projects
-
Events and pop-ups
-
Workshop programmes
-
Creative consultation, listening and research
-
Participatory activations

2. Public art & placemaking.
Our team is led by artists. We produce and commission ambitious public art and placemaking projects, including murals, sculptures, playgrounds, installations and playful interventions in public space.
Our projects are informed by the places where they're made. We bring in local histories and identities, involve communities throughout the process and think carefully about how people will experience and use a space. The result might be permanent or temporary, but it should feel specific to its surroundings and meaningful to the people who encounter it.
This could look like:
-
Public art commissions
-
Placemaking projects
-
Murals and installations
-
Playful public spaces
-
Festivals and event installations
-
Temporary interventions and activations

3. Creative learning.
Get It Done creates learning programmes that give people the space, skills and support to develop their own ideas and put them into action.
Our programmes are practical, creative and focused on action and practice. Participants might explore issues in their community, develop a creative response, learn how to produce their own project or work together to make something happen. We also develop longer programmes as well as workshops, talks and resources.
This could look like:
-
Creative learning programmes
-
Workshops
-
Talks and lectures
-
Project development programmes
-
Creative learning resources, toolkits, activity books

4. Personalised mentoring and coaching.
We provide personalised mentoring for artists, creatives and people developing projects, helping them move an idea forward and work out how to actually get things done.
Our mentoring is practical and responsive to the person we're working with. This might mean developing an idea, planning a project, navigating the creative industries, building professional skills or having someone alongside you to work through the next steps.
This could look like:
-
Creative and project mentoring
-
Programme tutoring
-
Careers workshops
-
Talks and lectures
