Would you like the opportunity to present your innovative media work to a wider audience? Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum would like to find out if there is scope to establish a programme of events for local makers of short films and videos. The events would take place on Thursday nights from 6.30-7.30pm at the Art Gallery & Museum and would provide a showcase for students and artists working in the fields of film and digital media. The aim would be to screen up to three pieces of work at each event and there would be the chance for the makers to discuss their work with the audience. This programme would provide a platform for recent film and video work and aims to support new and emerging practitioners as well as more established artists. There would be no charge for the use of the Art Gallery & Museum's facilities. If you would like to offer your views or find out more about this proposal, please contact Tammy Woodrow at the Art Gallery & Museum for more information: tammy.woodrow@warwickdc.gov.uk or telephone, 01926 742719.
