‘This is how we do it’ – free session

Talking to Regular People // Culture Matson

Enter Autumn with some relaxed, hopefully-helpful online seminars and discussion sessions exploring potentially different ways of working.

Over the past couple of years, quite a few people have asked to tell us more about the way we’re doing things. We want to hear about how other people are taking on some of the challenges we all face, too! So we’re going to open a room on Zoom to give some space for sharing and discussion about the practice of contemporary arts, cultural events and maybe even social change – in our city of Gloucester and beyond.

Talking to Regular People – How do you connect with the general public and get non-arts attendees to attend arts events? Maybe stop talking about them like arts events pitched to frequent arts attendees? That’s what Ben’s been doing with SAL – and we buck trends all over the shop, getting more diverse audiences, where the industry norm is 93% white.
