Est. 1985 the UK's largest network of Black Artists.

THE CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BLACK ARTS ALLIANCE STARTS HERE

For 23 years, Black Arts Alliance has worked to profile the creativity
within our diverse Black communities.

BAA’s work includes schools; prisons; the highly successful series of
In My Father’s House work; and of course ACTS OF ACHIEVEMENT, the North
West celebration of Black History month.

Now the BAA might lose its Arts Council (ACE) funding without your
support.

The Arts Council has lost faith in BAA’s work and is considering
disinvestment on July 4th. However, ACE also states that it is still
considering what action to take which means it may well continue to
support BAA. However with only 5 weeks to go it would be crazy for BAA
not to activate a campaign of support.

With your help as colleagues, fellow artists, workshop participants and
off course our audience, BAA could re-secure its Arts Council funding.

• The 40th Pan African Anniversary
• In My Father’s House
• Triangle
• Acts of Achievement
• Mary Seacole – The Opera
• The Black History Trail
  

If you have attended a BAA workshop, training event, performance or
exhibition and considered it to be of creative and social value then
please log onto www.blackartists.org.uk and hit the orange box

Black Arts Alliance is not entering into open combat with Arts Council
but if we wait until July 4th BAA’s future could become history.


May I personally thank you for any support that you are able to give
