Hello, welcome to our latest issue!
So much has happened in the few weeks since our last newsletter, in the world of culture and the arts as well as politics, it’s hard to keep everything in mind. One matter of great significance to the region, and to the sector, is Arts Council England’s latest investment news. You can read our response to the decisions on ACE’s National Portfolio for 2018-22 on our website.
As we continue to digest the latest developments and announcements, we bring you the latest art opportunities, upcoming events and news from the East Midlands.
For the latest announcements about our programme look no further.
Meet the Artist
Many thanks to Louisa Chambers, our Meet the Artist participant over the last few weeks, we now welcome Loughborough based artist Matthieu Leger. Matthieu uses material from the digital environment, manipulating and corrupting or glitching the information of a digital image. You can find out more about his work here. He’ll be taking over Instagram for us during his feature, keep your eye on our profile.
The Start of Something Micro Bursaries
Our invitation to put forward topics of conversation for The Start of Something is ongoing. If you’d like to get a group together to have a conversation about something important to you all and would like some money to get it going, send us a proposal.

Bhairav, from which the film takes its name, is considered to be one of the most ancient raags in Hindustani classical music, typically played in the early hours welcoming the dawn. Here, the raag sets the tone of the work, as the film reveals the architecture and landscape of Goa through precolonial, colonial and postcolonial eras. The work explores man’s relationship with the earth, spirituality and the passage of time, also highlighting issues of marginalisation.Art, The Brain + Behaviour, Fermynwoods Contemp. – 11 Jul
