As part of the ongoing and exciting transformation of Barnsley Civic we are reinvigorating the ways in which we work with artists with clear and distinct ways that we can offer support to better serve the artist community in Barnsley. We are proud to announce an exciting new Artist Support Programme that will be launching from May 2024.
Things will kick off on Thursday 2nd of May 6PM -8PM when we will launch a monthly informal creatives social. This is an opportunity for local artists to come together and talk about their work, expand their creative network, exchange ideas, contacts, and resources, vent frustrations, share tips, and offer support. This will also give us an opportunity to tell you more about what we do here at Barnsley Civic and a way of signposting other opportunities that are on offer in Barnsley. It’s also just a social, to have a laugh and get out on a Thursday.
Throughout the evening, we will also be able to share more info about our other artist support programmes, so get the first one in the diary and tell your friends. If you can’t always make an evening, we will be alternating these with lunchtime events out in the gardens (if it’s sunny).
Dates for the rest of the year:
Thursday 2nd May 6PM-8PM
Thursday 6th June 12PM-2PM
Thursday 4th July 6PM-8PM
Thursday 1st August 12PM–2PM

Thanks to Barnsley Council and Arts Council England for their continued support.
