It Gets Lighter From Here is a collaborative, cultural experience from the West Midlands Culture Response Unit (WMCRU) – a virtual day of hope and positivity, showcasing a collection of 60-second films from organisations across the region. It Gets Lighter From Here has raised a total of £34,050 for artist commissions, providing vital financial support for the region’s freelancers and community members who have been left unsupported through the Covid-19 pandemic, with a lack of job security and stable, regular income.   

On the shortest day of the year #ItGetsLighterFromHere will share the brightest West Midlands artistic talent with the world.
