Artist Salon Thetford
Artist Salon Thetford
Wednesday 27 November 11am-3pm
Thomas Paine Hotel, Thetford
Are you a creative practitioner or professional working, or wanting to work in, diversity?
Essex Cultural Diversity Project runs a programme of Salons, which are networking events offering professional support, insight and training to creative practitioners, professionals and organisations working in diversity, in collaboration with partners across the East of England.
Our next Salon takes place on Wednesday 27 November at the Thomas Paine Hotel in Thetford, Norfolk, and provides an opportunity for creative practitioners in the area and those engaged with their communities who want to develop creative projects, to bring their ideas for projects, programmes and collaborations, and access some advice and information sharing in a supportive environment. We will discuss making applications to Arts Council England and other funders, and discuss any relevant local opportunities.
- Venue: Thomas Paine Hotel, 33 Whitehart Street, IP24 1AA, thethomaspainehotel.co.uk

Who Should Attend?
The event will be aimed at emerging or more established artists/arts organisations, or representatives from organisations who want to develop creative projects within diversity settings. Ideally based in South Norfolk or the wider East region, attendees may have had little or no prior experience of accessing funding support for diverse work in the region.
Our core mission is to energise diversity in arts and heritage. We know that diversity is different for everyone. Diversity for us means: cultural diversity | different ethnic backgrounds | low socio-economic backgrounds | LGBTQ+ | disability | neurodiversity | or an intersection of these. We often support artists and projects that engage with: deprived communities | marginalised voices | communities with little or no access to the Arts | those who are culturally curious or want to connect with where they live in different ways.
