On behalf of the European Mela Network (EMN), its members and associates, welcome to our website. The EMN is currently going through some strategic changes and is looking for new skilled membership so that we may further support the development of Melas across mainland UK and Europe. We work with festival directors, local government, academics, artists, arts organisations, governmental policy makers and funders, with the aim to bring Mela to the mainstream.'
Mela organisers will be holding their annual general meeting at Birmingham's The Drum Arts Centre. For further information regarding the AGM and your attendance please email info@cardiffmela.com.
The EMN is now offering free membership to all new and existing members. For further information click here to download our membership form or email Champak Limbachia on info@orientalarts.org.uk for details.
