We are pleased to invite you to our CultureBiz Connect Artist Showcase Event, hosted by Black South West Network, on Saturday 11th October at We The Curious! This will be an inspiring showcase day, celebrating the creativity and innovation of twenty-five Black and Racially Minoritised artists and cultural producers across the West of England.
This special showcase marks the culmination of the CultureBiz Connect Incubator and Grant Programme, a six-week initiative designed to support artists and cultural producers with the tools, networks, and resources they need to grow their practices and build sustainable creative businesses.
Throughout the project and our grants programme, each participating artist received tailored mentoring, skills development, and a commission to create new work. Now, they're bringing it all to the stage at our Showcase Event!
What to Expect
✨ A vibrant showcase of new works by 25 artists working across different mediums including theatre, music, visual art, dance and more!
✨ Networking opportunities with other artists, cultutral producers and local institutions

Be part of the celebration! Come and connect, be inspired, and help us build a stronger, more inclusive landscape for the region.
