The Arts Council has today (30 January 2012) launched a new £37 million fund to ensure more people living in places where levels of involvement are currently low, experience and are inspired by the arts.

Regional Networking Events

At our annual Industry Conference in March 2011, the big topic of conversation among delegates was regional link-ups- people wanted the opportunity to meet  with other local practitioners on a regular basis.
 
We have run a total of four events since September with Salford City College, Norwich Playhouse, Kala Sangam in Bradford and The Birmingham Hippodrome last Friday

With the recent ‘call out’ for Regional Leads these events will become part of our yearly calendar gradually picking up all our regions and colleges.
