What
we are about...
The Bromsgrove Arts Alive, whose principal aim is to support the arts
in and around the Bromsgrove,
was established in 2006 following an initiative by Huw Moseley, Arts Development
Officer, Bromsgrove District Council.
With almost 40 diverse groups as members, we represent
the best in local arts.
We produce a comprehensive members directory leaflet each quarter with
a regularly updated version on this website,
plus an Events Diary offering comprehensive information on members current
and future events.
We have already held two and half (see above) annual events in Bromsgrove
where many of members had stands
or performed on stage, plus lots of activities taking place for all the
family to enjoy.
To take part in future events and be involved in a local influential arts
group, do consider becoming a BAA member.
Whether as an individual or a group - a single fee of £10!
A
special BAA event for all our members and friends.
The greatly anticipated 'Charlotte Badger' musical hits the
ARTRIX THEATRE mid-January full details
and we will be holding an exclusive drinks reception and 'meet the author'
on Wednesday 16th.
