2022

Creative Communities Midwest, in association with The GAFF presents TRANSITIONS, Community Arts Engagement during the pandemic. This online conference was held on January 27th 2022 with speakers from the arts and the community arts sector.

• Artist, Lowri Evans talked about her work across the arts communities in Manchester and around the world.

• Director, Tony Fegan from Tallaght Community Arts talked about their ethos and current community projects.

• Ann Marie Shields, director at Minding Creative Minds talked about this really important service for creatives across the Irish arts sector.

The new programme of events and projects for The GAFF 2022 was launched as we worked with artist and rapper Wilzee on MVP and we agreed to grow our Tiny Little Histories project where artists and communities come together and capture a layer of oral history that too often disappears with the passing of generations.

Creative Communities Midwest (CCM) is a professionally-resourced, network led by The GAFF to connect arts organisations and community stakeholders. The aim of the network is to further embed community engagement and develop new ways for creative communities to network.
