Coventry’s Warwick Arts Centre has revealed four new artistic associates whose “unique specialisms, knowledge and expertise” will “influence and broaden” the venue’s programming.

The artists are Birmingham-based artist, producer and cultural organiser Adam Carver, better known as Fatt Butcher; Bea Colley, a freelance literature programmer and producer; Birmingham-based composer and arranger Bobbie-Jane Gardner; and Ashley Jordan, company director and choreographer for Coventry's Ascension Dance.

Warwick Arts Centre creative director Beth Byrne said, “Adam, Ashley, Bobbie-Jane and Bea all offer insight and cultural expertise within their respective artistic fields spanning performance, dance, classical music, words and ideas. They’ll enable us to further our creative ambition to programme the most exciting and progressive work, especially from the West Midlands.”
