BBC Wiltshire will be broadcasting live from the launch event of the Creative Swindon Network.
It’s happening as part of the Swindon Spring Festival at The Arts Centre on Thurs 16th May, between 6-9pm, as part of their Culture Club show.
To ensure that a wide range of voices from as many art forms and creative endeavours as possible are represented, CSN are looking for local artists & creatives to be interviewed on the night. So don’t be shy. it promises to be really fun and informal. And don’t be modest about putting yourself forward – it’s your passion for the arts, and thoughts on ways to help the arts thrive in Swindon, that people will be interested in.
The aim is to have points of views and opinions from the widest spread of art forms, all ages and all walks of life and from the more experienced to the newest voices.
