A HUGE thank you to everyone who's supporting the Festival, including everyone who donated to the West Midlands Young Creatives Fund, and our wonderful partners and supporters @CreateCentralUK, @GrBhamChambers, @ComptonVerney, @switch_radio & @WMGrowth
Also clearly there are five commissioned artists, as opposed to the three I stated at the start of this thread - always better to under-promise and over-deliver!
