Who are we:

The Art Yard is managed by Midland Film And Art [MFAA] a group constituted in 2014 to promote art education in communities and to advance activities to do with art, craft, film and associated techniques.
 

'Friends' of The Art Yard
'Friends' of TAY contribute to the running costs of the gallery, studios and activities, as well as volunteering to curate exhibitions and facilitate art classes. Their contributions subsidise artists' exhibition fees.

VOLUNTEERING:

The Art Yard gallery and studios is managed by a dedicated group of volunteers who give their time freely to curate exhibitions so that other artists can benefit from reduced fees for hanging work.  If you are interested in joining the team then please get in touch by email or telephone.
