This free event will celebrate the Animating Leicestershire Towns Project that recently delivered a number of arts projects across Leicestershire. The event will bring together organisations and people who collectively have a passion for supporting a culture of creativity across Leicestershire.
Local artists and creative practitioners are invited to attend this free event and have the opportunity to hear from experts and creative professionals who will share their knowledge and expertise on creative and cultural projects and future opportunities.
The event will take place at the Carnegie Museum in Melton with a walk and tour of the Kick Up The Arts space from 2.45 to 4pm.
