Join the Forum
The Wyre Forest Arts Forum is YOUR voice if you are interested in the arts and crafts in the Wyre Forest Area.
Who is it for ?
Whether amateur or professional, a solo artist or a member of a group, collective or ensemble;
whether you live locally or are active in a club or society within the Wyre Forest area; the Forum is for you.
This includes anyone involved in the Arts at school or at college; or working in the Museum or Library services.
Why a Forum ?
Too often the arts and crafts in an area function in isolation, without the opportunity to share ideas and information; without a strong voice to lobby for resources, facilities and promote their full recognition within the community.
This Forum was launched in 1994 in the belief that it could make a real impact in the arts and help create that strong united voice.
Its aims are_
 |
developing ways in which to promote and publicise the arts and crafts in the area_ |
|
offering members opportunities to meet and exchange views and information and to debate the direction of
the artistic life of the area_ |
|
developing contacts with other arts bodies and funding organisations_ |
|
informing members about events, training opportunities, discounts, publications and resources_ |
|
arranging showcase events to display the arts and crafts of members to the wider public_ |
|
improving existing facilities and arrange for the development of new opportunities within the area_ |
|
co-ordinating and
facilitating applications and projects to attract Grant and Lottery funding to this area_ |
|
seeking Charitable status to enhance its ability to work on behalf of the arts and crafts in the Wyre Forest_ |
