Outdoor Arts has long been the best channel of arts engagement for a diverse range of people, but how can we continue to be the beacon of accessibility in the face of all our challenges? Outdoor Arts UK’s National Conference is coming to Stoke-On-Trent on Thursday, 6 February 2025, to hear from pioneering organisations, artists, and producers from the local area and beyond.
To engage individuals from underserved groups, we need to pay attention to care, equity, and how we do outreach. Only then can we create a truly level playing field for all. This can be hard work, but getting it right can boost impact, innovation, and resources through diversification of partnerships.
The OAUK Conference will give you plenty of time and space for reflection, discussion, care for each other, and, of course, networking. We hope that you will leave Stoke with renewed motivation to continue your brilliant work.
