The Studio Van

The Studio Van combined the arts practice expertise of Coventry University with the outreach and participation expertise of Warwick Arts Centre.

This project shared the skills and creative thinking approaches vital for our jobs market, civic duties and community building. It accessed frequently ignored communities to provide an artistic space in cultural cold spots. A trial period ensured that the Studio Van is now responsive to the needs of the local community.

Helen Cuthill (Associate Dean, Enterprise and Commercial, Coventry University), Dr Richard Tomlins (School of Marketing and Management, Coventry University) and Dr Vish Roy (Cultural & Media Policy Studies, University of Warwick) collaborated with New Art West Midlands on the project.
