We identify varieties of creative citizenship among case studies as a step to differentiating characteristics, including questions of motivation, purpose and context, and drawing a useful distinction between collective and connective acts of citizenship. Acts of creative citizenship make or produce something new and in parallel induce a critical reflection on political, social or cultural issues. These acts may occur in any type of community, whether of place or shared interest. We foreground the role of everyday creativity, which connects previously disconnected practices of citizenship and creativity. We need to move beyond individualistic or psychological approaches towards creativity and citizenship in order to investigate the role and creative power of these connective and collective acts, not least as generators of social capital. Our observations support the proposition that the activities of an enhanced or ‘unbound’ creative citizen have the potential to make a substantial impact in civic life.
