Clear filterCVAN EM's Annual Forum is a key event in the region's cultural calendar bringing together artists, curators, organisations, and cultural workers to explore current issues shaping contemporary visual arts. Each year CVAN EM works with a different regional partner to spotlight activity in a different locality and focuses on timely themes, amplifying diverse voices and fostering a more inclusive and sustainable arts ecosystem in the East Midlands.
Alongside our annual core event we also devise, develop and deliver legacy activity with forum partners to build on learning and opportunities presented through this strand of our programming.
