One of Firebird’s primary objectives is to support artist and artform development and to provide a level of innovation in the field of CPD for artists that is distinctive and unique.

Firebird’s new website is designed to allow artists, both those working closely with us on current initiatives, as well as those who have a looser association with our work, to post details of their activities by providing the facility to upload text, sound and images.

Whilst our approach here is still experimental we are hoping that the facilities provide will bring the benefits of Web 2.0 to support and promote the work of artists across the East Midlands.
