 BLACK & ETHNIC MINORITY ARTS (BEMA)

(THE ARTS IN HARMONY NETWORK)

Do you represent a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) arts organisation working in the voluntary sector?

 

Are you a BAME artist working in the voluntary sector?

 

Does your arts organisation work with or support BAME artists?

 

Then you are invited to BEMA’s Art of the Big Society Conference

 

Date: Thursday, 24 February 2011

 

Time: 9.30am - 4.30pm

 

Venue: Graeae Theatre Company, 138 Kingsland Road, London E2 8DY

 

Designed to address issues of concern to those involved in art creation, provision and marketing, the conference will look at how BAME artists and arts organisations can confront the many challenges facing them in voluntary sector in the current financial climate.

 

So much of national strategy being developed today is within the context of the so called ‘Big Society’, or in order to persuade more people to ‘volunteer’. Yet at a time of austerity and severe financial crisis, voluntary sector arts organizations are perhaps suffering more than most other areas.

 

Investment in the arts, already low, is being steadily reduced, with the hardest hit being the already under-funded Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic voluntary led arts groups and organisations.

 

With panel discussions and workshops, the conference will discuss how best BAME arts organizations can make the most of funding opportunities, market themselves and support each other.

 

With speakers from the Arts Council, Hackney’s 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Unit and various arts groups, this will be an ideal event to get information, discuss and network.

Hosted By

BLACK & ETHNIC MINORITY ARTS (BEMA)

The Black & Ethnic Minority Arts (BEMA) Network is an organisation that believes artists working in partnership can change the world for the better. It is an informal alliance of arts organisations, individual artists, promoters, producers etc., who have an interest in developing cultural activity as a means of promoting tolerance, equality and education.

BEMA encourages its members to both build their capacity to successfully tender for available contracts either by themselves or as part of a consortia; and also to develop sustainable funding and marketing strategies that are not totally grant dependent and that do not bring them into potentially divisive competition with each other. The organisation campaigns and lobbies for changes in the way arts related resources are distributed and opportunities provided on a local, regional and national level. It organizes meetings, conferences, seminars and networking events where ideas and information can be exchanged and collaborative initiatives developed to help effect those changes.
