Strive, Survive, Thrive Key Speakers on You Tube

I wanted to say a belated huge thank you to all those who joined us at the WAP conference Strive, Survive, Thrive last month. The feedback we got from those who were there was really positive.

As we're aware you're a busy lot and Wiltshire's a big County so we had the key speakers filmed so you could enjoy them at your leisure.

Visit WAP's You Tube channel to hear about how arts is regarded in Winchester, (Simon Eden CEO Winchester City Council), The latest from Arts Council South West (Paul Goddard), how Kandu Arts For Sustainable Development sustains itself (Ed Deedigan), how to sell your work (Erica Steer, Devon Guild Of Crafts) and more.

So why not grab a cuppa and watch and be inspired.

WAP steering group members wanted

Wiltshire Arts Promoters is steered by a group of arts professionals who aim to ensure the work that we do is collaborative and beneficial to the arts ecology across the genres and for organisations, practitioners and individual artists alike.

In order that we can be confident that we are representative of our members we would welcome individual artists/ practitioners or directors of smaller arts organisations  to join our steering group.

You would be joining at a particularly interesting time as we are currently looking at what WAP needs to focus on in the months following this funding period which ends in April.

The group meets 4 times per year (with some additional meeting/ action groups where needed) throughout the County.

If you would like more information about what it means to be on the steering group please do email me or leave a message on the blog and I'll get in touch.

Thanks in advance.
