Open
In 2021/22 CVAN East Midlands participated in a period of consultation and led activity aimed at positively impacting on public programmes and commissioning in the East Midlands. Last month we hosted a public forum, an opportunity to engage organisations, artists and arts workers with project activity and provide a platform to test and discuss ideas. We were joined by Dr. Vishalakshi Roy, Director of research-led strategic consultancy earthen_lamp, and East Mids-based creators of the 'Combining Accessibility & Creativity Toolkit' Jo Tolley (i.jo.tolley) and Benjamin Rostance (benart86). You can watch a subtitled recording of the event on our website & YouTube, 🔗🔗🔗 in bio. 📸 Illustration by freyjaillustrates.

Open
In early 2022 CVAN EM spoke with artists and arts workers from Ashfield, Bolsover, Boston, Chesterfield, East Lindsey, NE Derbyshire and Mansfield about strengthening cultural and creative opportunities in their localities. These areas have been identified by Arts Council England as Priority Places. Nottingham-based creative Will Harvey has designed a graphic presenting key findings and connections made during this period of consultation. 🔗🔗🔗 Link in bio to download. 

This research is the start of long-term work which will see CVAN EM support existing provision in Priority Places in the region, whilst developing new approaches. CVAN EM would like to thank everyone who has fed into this work. We are excited to see where this project takes us… ID: Map graphic of the U.K. with a zoomed in section on the East Midlands with coloured dots marking where the priority places are located.
