The network is being developed in response to consultation by Creative Remedies that established the need for an artist led network in Staffordshire. This initial series of events is being organised by Creative Remedies Community Development Worker Laura Hickman and Praxis Events Co-ordinator Sarah-Jane Watkinson.

For more information on how you can be involved in developing the network further, please contact Sarah-Jane Watkinson.

The events are open to artists and organisations based within or outside the county.
