Give me a place to stand will enable you to share your experiences and views, network and hear more about Derby’s emerging Culture Strategy, the work of Contemporary Visual Arts Network East Midlands and Artcore’s development plans. Viviana Checchia, Public Engagement Curator at the CCA in Glasgow will discuss place making and public engagement in the arts.

Artists Housing Design Charrette, 2pm to 5pm on the 28th February 2019

The Artists Housing Design Charrette will enable you to work with Heather and Ivan Morison to explore what an artist’s house in Derby could be through discussion and model making.

Heather and Ivan Morison, Liam Gillick and Jasleen Kaur are part of the Artists Housing Prototype Show, which will be exhibited at Artcore from the 31st January to the 1st March 2019. The exhibition will feature new ideas and designs and will propose that an Artists House is a home, workspace and public artwork in one powerful combination.

The Derby Visual Arts Summit is supported by Artcore, Contemporary Visual Arts Network East Midlands, University of Derby and Derby City Council.
