Get Inspired

Each year we receive work from over 3,500 people in the criminal justice system, all with a powerful story to tell, and a unique creative vision to share.

If you are looking for resources to kick start your next project, you can see lots of examples of work from across the 52 Koestler Awards categories in our Artwork Galleries, and access our monthly Art Aid sheets, which provide simple art and writing tasks which could help you on your creative journey.

If you are looking for inspiration, or want to learn more about the inspiring stories of our beneficiaries who have discovered creativity within a secure setting, check out our My Koestler Story page, or read some of the fantastic poems showcased in Koestler Voices, our poetry anthologies.
