TELFORD COMMUNITY ARTS 1974-1989

To mark 50 years since the beginning of Telford Community Arts, we are launching this website with examples of work created by people living in Telford, working with community arts practitioners.

Our entire archive has recently been deposited with Shropshire Archives, where it can be visited and viewed.

It is a rich collection showing the process of creating collective art in the communities of Telford between 1974 and 1989. It contains materials from workshops, company notes and minutes, Annual Reports, publications, photographs, audio material and more.

The Archive can be searched online. You can arrange to see any items such as photographs, documents and posters at the Archive in person. If you cannot visit, you can ask for items to be digitized and sent to you. There is a cost for this service.
