Coming up in 2024, we’re presenting How Can I stay? (I don't want to not want to stay), a programme developed with members of our Steering Group that aims to support people who face barriers due to a lack of cultural and public infrastructure, access needs, isolation and injustice.

WEVAA comes to an end in 2024, and we’re working with partners to shape what comes next so that we can continue to support artists living locally and develop sustainable cultural infrastructure.

And we are working with HEI partners to create a series of graduate and early career resources, that offer practical and knowledge-based insights into key areas, covering the nuts and bolts of operating professionally in the visual arts and helping to bridge the gap between education and a sustainable creative career.

We would like to thank our funders and partners Arts Council England, Art Fund, Spike Island and the CVAN national network; along with our team and Steering Group who are all incredibly committed, dedicated and passionate about the development of the Visual Arts Sector in the South West.
