Bognor Regis Arts & Culture Open Forum

This is where the story began

Over 50 local artists and residents attended the open forum on 3 April 2025 at The Regis School of Music.

The meeting was chaired by Doug Nicholls.

Everyone briefly introduced themselves and lively discussion followed on arts and culture in Bognor.

The general view was that there was an abundance of local talent waiting to be developed into a potent driving force for improvement in Bognor through arts and culture.

There was a strong view that community spaces for arts and culture are currently lacking.

As a starting point it was agreed that a virtual community space should be developed to bridge the many existing networks and act as a communications hub for further development.

It was agreed that a Steering Group should be convened to develop a plan of action.

Our grateful thanks and appreciation go to Sasha Levtov of the Regis School of Music for his kind and generous support for this initiative from the outset.
