What do you think about WAP?

We are currently carrying out some evaluation on WAP's work. The brilliant Chrissie Godfrey is doing this for us. She may contact some of you as 'stakeholders' of WAP but if she doesn't please do leave any thoughts and comments here about what sort of impact WAP has had on  the arts in the County, how it has helped, not helped you and what you think the priorities might usefully be for WAP to focus on in the future.

Thanks all.

Don't worry if you weren't able to make it as we filmed the day and will be publishing them on our very own You Tube channel shortly so will let you have the link when that's done.

If any of you who cam want to comment on the day on this blog please do.

Thanks again.

Here's to an exciting future for the Arts in Wiltshire.
