Outside IN is a pioneering project which promotes the visual art work of leading disabled and deaf artists. The New Art Gallery Walsall has been chosen to launch this new venture on Thursday 16 September.

DASH‘s Artistic Director Mike Layward introduces you to this ground-breaking concept, the galleries, the artists and their work. We then hand you over to internationally renowned performance artist Bobby Baker (author of recently published book Diary Drawings: Mental Illness and Me) as she strikes up an unmissable conversation with The New Art Gallery Walsall’s resident artist, Sean Burn.

The launch will be open to the public from 1-4pm, and if the art isn’t enough to tempt you down, there will also be games of marbles, activities, artist talks, plus nibbles – great!
