Wigan & Leigh Art Map drop-in sessions
Find out about the project, how the map works and discover artists and arts organisations already on the art map.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re starting out or an established professional artist – meet the team, chat about the map and art in the borough over a brew. We will also be on hand to demo the map and help any artists or arts organisations get added.
Golborne Library: Saturday 11th January, 10.30am – 12pm
Tyldesley Library: Saturday 29th March, 10.30am – 12pm
Watch out for updates on our Artist socials starting in November!
Wondering how you can get involved in the Wigan & Leigh Art Map?
We want our local art community to have ownership over our platform and contribute their own opportunities, profiles and content to keep it a living, breathing resource! With this in mind…
Call for opportunities
If you have something to offer the local art community, use the Wigan & Leigh Art Map to help spread the word! Examples of opportunities we can help promote include:
To share your opportunity on the map, just head over to our website and fill in our short form.
Call for artists profiles
We want audiences, funders and educators to get to know the artists and arts organisations working in our borough, and one of the ways we can help share your story is through our #OnTheArtMap profiles and social media takeovers. If you’re on the art map and would like to be featured, get in touch and we’ll be glad to help! Just email wiganleighartmap@gmail.com to get started.
Call for volunteers
Can you donate a bit of your free time to help with the art map? We’d love to hear from you! We are keen to hear about anything you feel you can offer, from creating social media content to supporting events or if you just have a great idea to share. Email wiganleighartmap@gmail.com for an informal chat about volunteering with the art map.
If you are not yet on the map, would like more information or are still wondering what it’s all about, head over to our website, contact us on Facebook or Instagram, or drop us an email. We are always happy to hear from you!
