What do our members say about us?

"i think the site is great for employment opportunities, information/articles covering a huge cross section of areas which are of interest even though my particular creative input is very specific... i recommend the site to many people"

"The Big Idea has been one of the most useful sites I have used in the last 4 years. The regular newsletter email is one of the few that I receive that I always make the time to read. I think it performs an important function for our creative community, and this is partly because it is so democratic in its access to creative practitioners. Thank you!"

"The Big Idea is a treasure. Keep the new initiatives coming";

"I use this site as my home page - it's an excellent way to stay abreast of current happenings :)"
