The Government has made an announcement about the funding of the nation's canals that puts the future of our much-loved network at risk ❗ We hope you'll share our disappointment at this decision & want to help to #KeepCanalsAlive 💙 Find out more: 👉 ow.ly/TLX750P7xJu teapawt.net/CanalRiverTrust/status…

Our hearts are heavy in learning about the passing of Phyllida Barlow (1944-2023). RIP to this incredible artist and spirit. “There’s a sort of method in the madness… It's not so much about an idea as about an action.” 📺youtu.be/CW7SjEZfrGM

“There are plenty of artists who don't have exhibitions. There's plenty of art that's never seen. There is this powerful desire to just create something.” For Phyllida Barlow, art & artists exist regardless of whether they are seen by an audience. 📺a21.tv/3wmds4r

One of the Recommendations from #A4TP, our Citizens' Assembly last year, was to add bright, beautiful, creative lighting to dark places across the city. We've been out & about with @LudicRooms playing with light to test this out - what do you think? talkingbirds.co.uk/2022/11/0…

Lighter & Brighter

Testing the Lighter & Brighter recommendation from our Citizens’ Assembly Art for the People. Can playful lighting make a dark route feel a bit safer?

(Thread) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! No more raw sewage in our seas! I have to share this with you all as I feel MORTIFIED and sick 🤢😡 Yesterday we visited Huttoft beach, a place we've visited for yrs. As normal, the kids ran into the sea for a paddle and what unfolded was horrific.

While some courses remain and all the 'paused' courses will be taught out, every closure reduces the options for students from the Black Country and West Midlands. We are devastated but we will fight these drastic cuts, because the arts matter #stopthecutsUoW
