ArtsFest 2022

This year marks the eighth year of ArtsFest hosted by the university. Traditionally we join with cultural venues across the region to programme a variety of events including live performances, workshops, theatre shows, music, poetry, art exhibitions, and lots more to get involved with. 

Each year we invite an eclectic range of new and established artists both locally and further afield, to use ArtsFest as a platform to enhance their careers. This is something that we are proud to support and will endeavour to do in the future, using Artsfest as a vehicle to continue to bring you the very best this region has to offer.

Exciting things are happening this year! From the 22 Jan – 10^th April the Wolverhampton School of Art and Wolverhampton Art gallery will be hosting the touring British Art Show 9.  It is a real coup for the region and a fantastic opportunity to see some contemporary art up close and personal. As well as the exhibition there will be lots of activities and events to get involved in. Keep up to date with the latest information via our social media https://www.instagram.com/wlv_soa/ or web page https://www.wlv.ac.uk/bas9

Later in the year we are hoping to return with our traditional ArtsFest programme of onsite events but in the meantime we will continue to bring art to you through ArtsFest Online, a permanent programme of virtual talks which runs throughout the year. Please keep checking our website for updates or follow us on Instagram www.instagram.com/wlvartsfest
