We are a collective, and a collective voice for the West Midlands.


We convene, challenge and connect, to create opportunities through culture, for the people and places of the region.

We know the power that culture has on people and places.

We believe in the strength of working collectively.

We do this to support a dynamic, resilient, inclusive cultural ecology.
