A social event for artists to discuss practice around disability and explore potential for new work will be taking place on Tuesday, May 11, from 5-7pm at The New Art Gallery, Gallery Square, Walsall.

Working Parts, the Black Country Arts and Disability Network, is hosting a two-hour event to encourage a discussion about the arts and disabled people. The event is free and refreshments will be available.

Working Parts steering group members from Black Country Touring, Walsall Council Creative Development Team, The Arena Theatre Wolverhampton and Multistory in Sandwell will facilitate an informal discussion about how Black Country artists are creatively thinking about disability; look at potential training needs and offer artists the chance to sign up to the Working Parts arts and disability ‘hub’, all of which aim to increase potential work opportunities.

To find out more information and book a place please email Alan McLean alan@bctouring.co.uk by Friday, April 30 or call 0121 552 0014. Feel free to pass this invitation to other local artists.
