Hello, welcome to our latest issue. We’re excited to bring you all the newest events, opportunities and news, as well as the latest announcements about our upcoming events. Bookings are being taken for Make.Practice.Perfect, our annual event at The Collection in Lincoln in March and for our next open event for The Start of Something: Reflections and Next Steps at Derby QUAD in April. Make sure you book your place!
BOOKING IS NOW OPEN
This event will include provocations and discursive sessions, networking and interactive activity and feature practitioners from in and beyond the region. It will consider how we make art and maintain an art practice, where we turn for help in the process and practice of making art, if we are looking in the right places and whether we need look at all.
BOOK YOUR PLACE NOW!
The Start of Something
Reflections and next steps – QUAD – Friday 28th April, 2.30 – 5.30pm
At this FREE event attendees will be able to introduce new topics of conversation for possible CVAN EM investment and hypothesise over what might happen in the region, informally over refreshments. They will also hear from groups whose conversations have already received support as they reflect on their progress so far and their future plans.
Tell us you’re coming!
In Another Place
For this project we will work with selected organisations to commission work for presentation on billboards and other printed and digital materials in 2018. The billboards will be presented simultaneously in locations around the region and the project will be promoted through a joint marketing, branding and communications campaign.
We will be inviting expressions of interest in April.
Meet the Artist
As we thank Chris Wright for being our outgoing featured artist, we welcome Theo Miller as our latest Meet the Artist participant. Read his profile to find out more about his practice.
Document
Our partnership with the University of Leicester is developing apace with new researcher on board to interview our project artists, and filming continues with Bill Newsinger. We’ll bring you snippets soon.
