Warwick Creative Exchange would like to invite you to Locating Cultural Value, a half-day conference exploring the findings of the Warwick Commission on Cultural Value, discussing how its recommendations might be put into practice in the region, and looking to the future work of WCE in building partnerships between our artistic and academic communities.

This event will take place on Thursday 23rd April at Warwick Arts Centre, starting with lunch at 1pm and finishing with a drinks reception at 5.30pm.

Speakers will include Vikki Heywood, Chair of the Commission; Paul Roberts, one of the Commissioners and Chair of Creativity, Culture and Education; Chris O'Connell, Artistic Director, Theatre Absolute, Coventry; Laura McDermott, Joint Artistic Director, Fierce Festival, Birmingham; Professor Pam Thomas, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for People and Public Engagement .

Warwick Creative Exchange has managed to secure a small number of tickets to Stan’s Cafe’s ‘A Translation of Shadows’, which we are able to offer these to workshop participants for free. The performance will take place at 7.45pm in the Warwick Arts Centre Studio.
