About the BCN
The Blast! Creative Network offers local artists a free, rolling programme of talks, workshops, and social events taking place monthly, and is a space for mutual support, learning and knowledge sharing.
The programme is a mixture of public talks, where we invite art practitioners, curators and community groups to speak about a range of subjects designed to develop participants’ practice, and closed-door workshops and professional development activities that are open to artists and creatives based in Sandwell and the Black Country.
