Nine
key arts organisations in Gloucestershire are working together to
give 50 people the opportunity to get involved in something new,
exciting and different this autumn.
They
are searching for local people to volunteer as Arts Ambassadors
to promote Gloucestershire arts organisations and to encourage other
people to attend.
In
return for committing some time to being an ambassador over the
course of 12 months, the arts organisations are offering:
- Free
tickets to events
- Special
offers for friends and colleagues
- A
chance to see behind the scenes of the organisations
- Full
information about what is going on in the arts scene in Gloucestershire.
Networking
The
nine arts organisations, which cover the full spectrum of art forms,
are working collaboratively to ensure that the widest potential
audience is aware of the value of the arts in the county and how
easily they can access them.
By
establishing a network of Ambassadors, the group aim to reach further
into local communities where it's hoped that the scheme will encourage
new audiences, especially those who have previously had little access
or involvement in the arts within Gloucestershire.
How
to get involved
