Wakefield Arts Partnership presents Alternative Wakefield.

After an exciting year of development for WAP in 2016 and in response to the city’s funding success of £223,000 through the Arts Council’s Cultural Destinations programme, we will hold an afternoon and evening of events at St Austin’s Theatre bringing together local artists and cultural organisations to socialise, network, plan, share, create – and have a bit of fun too.

The event will be free and open to all. We would like to involve as many of the districts creatives as possible in this event, and in turn begin to represent them as Wakefield’s cultural offer continues to grow and develop. It’s your chance to get involved with everything that is going on, whatever your background or experience in the Arts is – all are welcome.

The day time event will feature artists, activities, food and drink and will run from 2pm – 6pm. Details of who will be involved can be found here.

Information on the evening event (which requires a seperate ticket) can be found here.

If you would like to be involved any any aspect of the event, showing your work, performing, volunteering etc then please contact Dean at longdivisionfestival@gmail.com for more details.

We hope you can join us to plan for Wakefield’s Cultural future. Feels free to share this with friends and peers.
