Very disappointed that I’ve only just heard about this 7 months later! I had no idea there was a Yardley arts forum until a friend from another area told me such things exist. The council website is also singularly unhelpful. I know there’s an art society but I already belong to a different one. Are you planning anything else this year? If so, is it going to be advertised?

Hello Anne
Sorry you missed out on this event. It seems the Yardley Arts Forum is organised via Midlands Art Centre. Hopefully they will have more events planned for the future. You could try finding out more via the MAC. Also they are on Twitter: : @ArtsInTheYard
