For Arts Council England West Midlands, Hybrid delivered a programme of action research, mapping the African, Caribbean and Asian Visual Arts Sector and consulting with a wide range of stakeholders. The action research led approach included intensive mentoring/ coaching for five artists, identifying specific projects to explore avenues for success alongside key challenges. The strength of the report and its findings encouraged ACE to commission Hybrid to develop and deliver British Summertime (through managed funds of over £50k). The programme was carefully evaluated and demonstrated strong learning outputs and outcomes.
