The Regional Youth Work Unit is helping to deliver a project called ‘somewhereto_’ which is all about finding spaces for young people to debate, play sport, perform, play music, dance, display artwork, show films, write – in fact spaces for young people to do anything related to the arts, sports and culture. It is a national project being supported by Channel 4 and is part of the legacy of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, so when the games are finished there are still positive opportunities for young people.
We are looking for spaces across the region that might be available for young people aged 16–25 years to use for dancing, performing, writing, meeting, playing sport - especially new spaces that young people might not know about or some unusual spaces for a one-off event. The space would need to be free or low cost. The space would be promoted on the somewhereto_ website along with acknowledging the donor, so you would get some positive publicity for your organisation. However, the project is regulated and it’s not that young people can just turn up at your space unannounced!
The South West part of the website has a few spaces, but we desperately need more and have young people looking for space to do the things they love.
Can you help? Please visit the website www.somewhereto.com and register your space. I will then get in contact to agree with you how and when your space could be used.
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Sharon Adams

Want to be in a brochure showcasing the arts in Wiltshire
Following our marketing network session we have an action to produce a brochure that includes all arts organisations, individual artists and practitioners from across Wiltshire so that we can help raise the profile of the arts in Wiltshire.
We would like everyone to make the brochure available and distribute at events they are attending and the marketing network plan to attend big events in and around the County to promote Wiltshire Loves Arts. We hope this will help raise the profile of Wiltshire as a county with a thriving professional arts scene, but will also help develop audiences/ customers from within and outside of the County for those included.
I am currently having a brochure costed up. WAP will look to subsidise the brochure hoping not to need to charge more the £20 per entry as it is really important that we showcase as much of the arts ecology in Wiltshire as possible.
It would be really helpful to start to get an idea of how many entries we will be looking at. So please could you ask all of your contacts who work professionally within the arts to contact me ideally with 50 and 100 words of copy about themselves including web address, email and telephone number (If relevant) with a high resolution image.
The deadline for expressions of interest in being in this publication is October 19.

Want to have a chance to network with others involved with fundraising
Following our fruitful session with arts marketeers last week I have postponed our fundraising session as I am aware that a number of you had wanted to attend but were unable to make the date offered.
If you think you or anybody you know would benefit from being able to meet with others who understand the challenges of fundraising, share tips and find ways we may be able to support each other do look at the dates and times mooted at this link. http://www.doodle.com/wdtdng9qhscuhuk7
I am currently completing a course to become a qualified funding adviser and whilst I am far from an expert I'm very happy to share anything I've learned and support the group as best I can.
The Pound Arts Centre team have offered to host this session for us, I am aware that public transport access to Corsham can be a problem so if that makes it impossible for you to attend but you would otherwise want to please do let me know.

Pop up art anyone?
