The new Arts and Heritage Alliance Intern has now started her post, she will be working Monday to Wednesday and is looking forward to meeting everyone. 

On the 14th, 15th & 16th May, we will be holding the second Arts Open Weekend.

The weekend will involved arts venues opening their doors to offer free workshops, demonstrations, tours, talks and exhibitions.  The programme will be uploaded to the website in the next few weeks.

Audiences South presented the Audiences Insight Segmentation Data to the alliance membership to support individual and our collective audience development and engagement plans.  We were joined for the day by Andrew Park; cognitive scriber who documented the days discussions through pictoral references.  Have a look at the work Andrew produced as a result of the day: Jam-packed Pictures

AHA-MK created a short film to promote the arts after securing money from Milton Keynes Council and Arts Council England.
