Networking

14 September, 7 December & 8 February

Thanks to the GM Arts Spirit fund, working alongside Bury Art Museum, over the course of 2024-25, The Met will be hosting a series of networking and training events for artists and creatives living and/or working in Bury and the surrounding areas.

These sessions are designed for artists at any stage of their career within any discipline to build connections, meet new people, develop skills and feel supported in a local network of like-minded people and organisations who can provide help and guidance.

We will be holding networking sessions on Saturdays, 10.30am-12 in the Stanley Bar at The Met on a quarterly basis, please use the links on this page to book a free place. Training events will be added to this page.
