Artist Salon Thetford
Wednesday 27 Nov 2024 11:00am – 3:00pm
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.
