Because b-side works so closely with the local community, businesses, audiences and participants on artistic projects, we have felt it would beneficial to host a new ‘friends’ group who could offer more time and local expertise in enabling b-side to develop and maintain closer connections in Weymouth and Portland.
The Friends of b-side is a valuable new group of dedicated stewards and hosts, participants, venue owners and artists who would like to be a part of the development of b-side throughout the year.
Meeting every month in an informal setting, the group can offer evaluation and feedback on b-side activity, may undertake fundraising activity, offer local knowledge to enable connections between communities and artists, have an input into future projects and artistic activity.
