About the opportunity
Black Country Digital Firsts is a unique partnership between Creative Black Country and The Space that aims to build digital creative confidence, inspire excellence in the area, foster digital creativity, commission artists, and offer creative support via mentoring and advice sessions.
We want this opportunity to reflect the diverse perspectives, creativity, people and ideas across the region. We are looking for projects that are bold, brave and imaginative.
The programme will run until the end of December 2024, with further development commissioning opportunities throughout this time. It has been made possible with funding from Arts Council England.
