On the 15th May 2010 an event entitled Express and Share was hosted by the West Midlands Branch of the Sant Nirankari Mission. This was a community led initiative which had been organised by Brendan Hawthorne a Local Poet and Community Worker from Wednesbury.

There had been numerous creative projects organised by Mr Hawthorne during the course of the year and this event was a point to bring everything together and celebrate in the form of exhibitions and performances.

The event commenced at 10.00 am and had been advertised widely in the local press which resulted in people attending from all over the Borough of Sandwell attending. A number of stalls had been set up to display arts and crafts, jewellery, paintings and fabric work. During the course of the event poets including Surjit Dhami presented their expositions as well as Sunil Mehta who sang some nice tunes for all present.

It was a wonderful occasion highlighting the teachings of the Mission, by uniting people through their various interests being based around the Creative Arts. All visitors were able to learn about the work of the Mission and were impressed by the message of His Holiness Nirankari Baba Ji spreading the spirit of oneness of mankind.
