The Very Heart of It

"Buildings and businesses may come and go but at the very heart of the place are the communities that make up Darlaston."

Round Midnight are working with artists Bostin' Arts and Lofty Wright on "The Very Heart of It" an exciting community arts project based in Darlsaton in Walsall.

The project will culminate with a new community play to be staged in Darlaston Town Hall that celebrates the past, the present and the future of Darlaston, starring the people of Darlaston.

A fantastic new piece of public art will be created, this will stand outside Darlaston Town Hall for many years to come. Both the art and the drama will be inspired by local peoples stories and memories of the area.

We are currently collecting the stories that will inform the performance and public art and have been told some wonderful stories about Darlaston.

If you are from Darlaston and would like be involved in the project, perhaps you have a story or photograph you could share, maybe you would like to be in the production or help design the set or piece of public art. Please contact theveryheartofit@walsall.gov.uk
