Ort Gallery in Birmingham is one of 20 artist-led spaces up and down the country selected to be part of East Street Arts’ four-year GUILD programme.

The programme will explore new approaches to business modelling, to embed groups within their localities and advocate their impact on social and political environments. It will seek to address the challenges faced by these groups, such as limited funding, resource and their tendency to experience burnout.

The Green Room will act as a community venue and as well as hosting performances, will also be available for exhibitions, concerts and local groups. – via The Express and Star.

Antonio Roberts (who is also on our Advisory Group) and Flatpack Film Festival’s Sam Groves amongst those named as Artist Advisors for Jerwood Arts.
