Curious Minds is an award-winning charity leading nationally from Wigan, sparking equity and excellence in arts education and cultural learning.
For over 15 years, we have acted as a catalyst for system change - driving bold action, pioneering practice and meaningful collaboration across schools, communities and the cultural sector.
We bring together educators, artists and emerging talent, providing training, networks and opportunities that empower them to ignite creativity and transform learning.
Our innovative programmes and courses respond to authentic challenges such as inclusion, wellbeing and knowledge building, shaping practice that drives lasting impact.
Our work connects schools, cultural organisations, and communities to create vibrant learning environments rich in arts and culture.
We advocate for the right of every child and young person - especially those facing barriers - to access inspiring cultural experiences that expand horizons and fulfil potential.
At the heart of our approach is workforce development and lifelong careers.
We are committed to growing, diversifying and professionalising the field, standing up for Teaching Artists and Teaching Artistry as transformative forces across education and culture.
Soon to be based at Wigan Pier, our National Centre of Excellence for Arts Education and Cultural Learning, will be a home for creative leaders shaping the future of the sector, illuminating pathways to excellence, and igniting innovation nationwide.
