New Beginnings: exploring artist-led initiatives
At a time of growing financial instability, it is becoming more
important for artists to work together to make things happen. DIY and
artist-led initiatives have been a long-standing strategy to creating
independent opportunities; so how can artists better work together to
collaborate and form structures and networks of support?
This is the first of two events that New Work Network (NWN) will be
holding in Scotland, to connect artists and share examples of artist-
led culture in live and interdisciplinary arts practices.
?New Beginnings: exploring artist-led initiatives? is an opportunity
to explore these questions. Participants will share contacts and
connections over breakfast, listen to presentations on artist-led
projects from Forrest Fringe and Guyan Porter, who will also
facilitate a World Caf? to discuss these themes. An informal directory
of participants will also be compiled to enable connections to
continue after the meeting.
This is a free event but must be booked in advance through NWN. To get
involved please RSVP to New Work Network on
info@newworknetwork.org.uk, with ?New Beginnings? in the title by
Wednesday 11th March. To secure your place, please email 100 words
(max) about your practice and include where in Scotland you are based.
