We are Frilly

Yesterday we launched the first @BhamDsgn annual survey. It's an opportunity for us to find out more about the community so we can do more to help you in the future. Totally anonymous and takes 10 minutes. Please encourage your team to fill it in ❤️ birminghamdesign.co.uk/annual-survey/

Covid-19 has decimated the cultural sector around the world. We think the West Mids should respond to this unprecedented threat in a typically generous, loud & collaborative manner. Today we invite EVERYONE in the WM arts to signup and share: culturecentral.co.uk/wmcru/ #CultureRU

How great would it be if there was an arts section on every news show like there is a sport section. Lots of art and craft happening at the moment during lock down unlike sport which has completely stopped. #covid19 #adaptthenews

I’ve been busy creating a website for parents to use during this difficult time of home education. It’ll be updated every day! Please RT this to all your friends, from Early Years to KS4 and we’ve even got SEN resources too. #homelearning #homeschooling homelearningschool.co.uk

#Covid19 emergency: Arts Council England’s No.1 Priority for the next three months is to support people who work in the arts, museums and libraries. We want as strong a sector as possible as we come out the other side of this crisis. THREAD 👇

Have a mooch over the wonderful #InternationalWomensDay #Community Programmes happening this month by @nearneighbours #Birmingham. They're in our district and around Birmingham too.

@JoPearce_Wales @ArtsConnectWM Thanks for providing inspiring call to arms!

Best question ever!!! ‘Are friends electric?’ - @CityArtsNotts digital research project is exploring how digital media can tackle youth loneliness #acdigital

Imagine the potential for everyone to curate their own exhibitions from a gallery or museum’s collection and embed their own artistic response. Let’s see objects and art through each other’s eyes, just like a music playlist #acdigital

AR and VR isn’t about replacing experience or visiting a gallery. It’s about increasing accessibility and longevity of exhibitions @Nottm_Contemp #acdigital

Great fun with #escapegames by @MrJohnSear at the @ArtsConnectWM #ACdigital symposium @mac_birmingham #DigitalpARTicipationis team listening

Loved this quote from Jo!! Always distupt! #acdigital

Emotive, powerful & inspiring to discover how creative content is being developed for YouTube that is for, with & by SEND children & young people to empower & create content that is inclusive @KantuEnsemble #ACdigital @ArtsConnectWM

Great insights with @ImagineerUK & @WeAreFrilly about collecting stories & social insights. The importance of social media & micro influencers that can be hyper local. Reach 🆚 likes can be very different when promoting activities to a younger audience #ACdigital @ArtsConnectWM

Love the accessibility and Pinterest like quality to @Nottm_Contemp ‘Record’ of exhibitions past, creating a contemporary history #acdigital @ArtsConnectWM

Jo @brightbranchltd talks about a multiplatform content house. Is it the responsibility of the cultural sector to be multi-platform cultural providers? If you’re publicly funded then you should democratise your engagement potential and don’t restrict yourself by a linear approach

‘Innovation is future proofing a brand’ - Jo @brightbranchltd #ACdigital @ArtsConnectWM

Content is king! (Especially video) - make it timely and timeless @brightbranchltd #ACdigital

Escape games in the wild - don’t limit yourself by 4 walls! Take them out of restrictive formats and adapt to your context and venue! #acdigital

At #acdigital it’s very much about analogue into digital. You will always need lofi, hands-on creative engagement! @derbyquad
