Creative and cultural businesses across Sandwell are being encouraged to get involved with the Sandwell Cultural Forum, as work continues to strengthen the borough’s creative sector and prepare for potential future investment.
The Sandwell Cultural Forum is an informal network of cultural and creative individuals, organisations and businesses who deliver activities, events and creative spaces for a wide range of audiences across Sandwell.
The Forum meets quarterly, with each meeting hosted in a different location across the borough. Members also receive a monthly newsletter sharing news, opportunities, funding updates and upcoming events relevant to the creative and cultural sector.
The Forum is open to anyone who lives or works in Sandwell and operates within the creative or cultural industries, from artists and performers to venues, publishers, community organisations and creative businesses.
Why get involved?
With potential funding expected in the next financial year through the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), it is important that Sandwell has a strong understanding of the creative activity already taking place locally.
By joining the Forum, businesses and creatives can:
- Help shape the future direction of Sandwell’s creative and cultural sector
- Stay informed about funding, opportunities and events
- Build connections with other creatives and organisations across the borough
- Raise the profile of their work and contribute to sector-wide collaboration
