DROITWICH ARTS NETWORK (DAN)
Droitwich Arts Network (DAN) is a “not for profit” Community Interest Company that advocates and champions all forms of art in the Droitwich area. This includes visual arts, performing arts, photography, media, written, music and crafts.
The network provides opportunities for artists to display or perform their work, and for the public to participate in various projects and events. Members are drawn from a wide area including Redditch, Birmingham, Bromsgrove, and Worcester.
DAN provides opportunities to share ideas, to be involved in Droitwich Spa events, festivals, various projects and activities. We also provide opportunities for artists to exhibit, present, and perform. Members are entitled to their own page on our website, can interact via our Facebook group, and receive a regular Newsletter.
Previous major events have included art exhibitions at Hanbury Hall, Droitwich ArtsFest (2017 and 2018), and The Hub in St Andrews Square during from 2021 to 2025.
Currently, members display their work in Droitwich Library and Corbett Medical Centre. We hold two very informal “Doodle” sessions each month, one in the evening and one during the day. We also aim to hold a meeting each month where we might have a guest speaker, a demonstration, or a practical workshop. Some meetings are held online via Zoom.
Droitwich Arts Network is managed by a Committee including Directors of the CIC, elected at the Annual General Meeting.
Our honorary patron is Tristan Harris, Editor of the Droitwich Standard.
