Walsall Creative Factory will be celebrating art within the community with a special event and exhibition at the New Walsall Art Gallery in February.
Starting on 4 February until 18 June, the Community Gallery on the ground floor will be transformed with artwork that celebrates the richness and creativity of those who attend the many workshops at their base in the Butts.
To kick off the community celebration, a free launch event will take place on Saturday 4 February between 2-4pm, where children attending can enjoy crown-making and mehndi, as well as poetry by David Calcutt and storytime with Queen Bee and the fairies.
Formed in 2015, the Creative Factory runs numerous activities from its community arts workshop situated in Westbourne Street and has been involved in dozens of dynamic arts and heritage projects in the West Midlands.
More information about the event can be found on The New Art Gallery website.
