Ideas Boards
At our first event, we had boards and bits of coloured paper for everyone to add ideas of creative things we could collaborate to get off the ground. A year later we met at Taw Valley Brewery’s Tap Room to reflect on the things we’ve seen emerge and to discuss and add bigger ideas to bigger boards for the future.
Please contact redmudarts@gmail.com if you’d like to add anything to these lists. Alternatively you can post it on our new Facebook group.
Here are the things we came up with this August 2023:
