Are you based in Ards Borough Council? Are you involved in a local group involved in arts, craft or cultural activities?

Whether you belong to an amateur dramatic society, a choral or creative writing group - Voluntary Arts Ireland and Ards Arts Service are jointly hosting an event to help you make the most of it.

The 'making local arts visible' event is designed to inspire, celebrate and raise the profile of the many different arts groups that exist within Ards Borough.

Participants will get the opportunity to:

• network with other local volunteer-led arts groups.
• get ideas on and discuss how to raise their profile and develop their activities.
• hear about potential funding and support in the Borough.
• chat with experts in the field of voluntary arts, governance, marketing and funding.
