Thousands turned out to enjoy a fun-filled weekend of activity in West Bromwich which included a dance piece with a red telephone box and 24 giant terracotta buzzing bees at Central Sixth.
Mayor of Sandwell, Cllr Julie Webb, opened the Sandwell Arts Festival and got involved with digital graffiti spray painting and 3D model printing before making her own unique tune with the buzzing bees.
The event – produced by Creative Black Country, on behalf of Sandwell Council, and centred around Central Sixth, Queen’s Square, New Square and West Bromwich Town Hall and Library – featured everything from traditional storytelling and craft to computer coding and performance in the college’s Fab Lab.
