At Barnsley Civic, we understand the challenges artists face in accessing the support they need to develop their work. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing opportunities for artists of all genres who live in or work with the Barnsley community.
Our aim is to create pathways for young and emerging artists, offering them the space to cultivate their personal practice and enhance their sector knowledge. As part of our ongoing transformation at Barnsley Civic, we are excited to reinvigorate our approach to working with artists, implementing clear and distinct support systems to better serve the vibrant artistic community in Barnsley.
We work with artists in lots of different ways, but define this work in three categories:
- Creative Socials
- Artist Residencies
- Commissioning
CREATIVE SOCIALS
Join us for our next Creative Social event. This is a fantastic opportunity for local artists to connect, share their work, and expand their creative networks. Come together to exchange ideas, resources, and contacts, vent frustrations, share tips, and offer support.
During the event, we’ll share more about what we do at Barnsley Civic and highlight other opportunities available in the area. Plus, it’s a chance to unwind, have a laugh, and enjoy a Thursday evening with fellow creatives.
Throughout the evening, we’ll provide details about our other artist support programmes. So, mark your calendars and bring your friends along! If evenings aren’t always possible for you, don’t worry—we’ll alternate with lunchtime events too.
Join us on the following dates:
Thursday 7th November 6PM-8PM
Thursday 5th December 6PM–8PM
Thanks to Barnsley Council and Arts Council England for their continued support.
