An on-street carnival is taking place this Friday 1 July outside Walsall Art Gallery.
Students from 14 Walsall schools will be entertaining the public with visual art pieces and music and dance performances.
Two performances will take place outside the New Art Gallery between 11am and noon and 1.30-2.30pm before the students head down Park Street with a samba band complete with carnival costumes and props.
The performances are part of the Walsall Arts for All Programme, which uses arts and culture as a way to share and celebrate Walsall’s many different communities and cultures.
Programme Manager Baz Chapman said: ‘it’s been a challenging few years for these schools, but despite the ever-shifting sands of Covid, they’ve stuck with Walsall Arts for All and created some extraordinary artworks which celebrate what a vibrant and exciting place Walsall is. Arts & culture play a unique role in developing creativity, building aspiration and celebrating and improving communities. If these students’ creativity is anything to go by, Walsall has a bright future!’
