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!
