The Big Idea serves over a million people every year. That's a big number.

When The Big Idea started 12 years ago, we never imagined that our community would grow to such a scale. We began an innovative journey to serve the creative community that continues to this day.

We’ve worked hard over the years - staying focused and lean. But we need your help [think BIG and give a little].

Here's some people who already have and what they had to say

• Alex Lee | TBI has been a steadfast supporter of arts and culture
