ABOUT THE CHALLANGE
The 2026 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge celebrates Canberra as a vibrant centre of creativity while connecting a wider community of makers across Australia and beyond.
Each July, creatives from around the world respond to a series of daily word prompts, sharing new work via Instagram. Working across ceramics, textiles, photography and mixed media, participants embrace experimentation, process and connection through creativity.
Now in its fifth year, the 2026 theme Dissent advocates for creativity as a powerful tool for questioning, challenging, and reshaping ourselves and the world around us.
Over the three week challenge, participants generated thousands of artworks and posts. The result is a diverse and series work that reflects the energy, imagination and collective spirit of the Challenge.
