At these meetings, attended by 200 participants, VASW had the opportunity to hear directly from the visual arts community about needs and challenges faced locally within specific counties. The feedback gathered from the field forms the basis of our 2-year-plan that seeks to support much needed infrastructural change to build sector resilience in the South West and nationally. These notes capture our community's key concerns.
