GroundWork Gallery is pleased to be collaborating with Essex Cultural Diversity Project for the King’s Lynn Cultural Diversity Salon. It is part of a series of ‘salons’ aiming to inform and discuss the whole question of diversity issues in the arts at this critical time, and to encourage those who wish to apply for funding.
We are hosting the next salon in King’s Lynn on 30 January and would be delighted if you would attend and join our discussions at this crucial moment in the development of global policy change on these issues.
Are you a creative practitioner or professional who wants to highlight aspects of cultural diversity?
Essex Cultural Diversity Project’s Cultural Diversity Salons are free workshop and networking opportunities for creative practitioners and community organisers. Come along to share and develop ideas for art projects which celebrate diversity. We will discuss cultural diversity issues of current concern. We provide hands-on advice about engaging with communities and applying for public funds for community art projects.
The day includes a complimentary lunch.
Who Should Attend?
The event is open to emerging or more established artists/arts organisations, or representatives from organisations who want to develop creative projects within diversity settings. Essex Cultural Diversity Project’s 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.
