Hosted by The Salvation Army Corps, Cradley Heath, the premiere took place on the evening of Tuesday, Sept 23rd with special guests Major Lisa Goble, Cllr Jackie Taylor and Cllr Vicki Smith present.
The name ‘PoArtry’ was given by our Chairman, Warren McCabe-Smith, to a 2016 event involving poets and artists.
Since then, combining the spoken word with arts and crafts has been part of The Art Yard make-up over the years. Regular PoArtry evenings were introduced by Stan, Sandra and myself in April 2023.
So why run a Pilot Project?
Although the committee has experience of PoArtry projects few of the pilot participants had and the project was a way for others to expand their knowledge or working in collaboration with other wordsmiths, crafters, musicians and artists.
There will be an exhibition of the work completed during the project held at The Art Yard, 19-20 Upper High Street, Cradley Heath, B64 5HX for one week from 6:30pm on Monday 13th October 2025. Entry to the gallery is free.
