ArtWorks Scotland Conference 2013: Pioneers, Practice and Professionalism

ArtWorks Scotland are pleased to announce that the full conference programme is now available to view online.

Highlights include:

Inside-out or Outside-in?
David Cameron asks how do we become more central to the way that we think about art, community development and social change? Do we want to work from the outside in, or the inside out?

The Past is the Present: Pioneering artists, pioneering practices & their legacies in Scotland.

Barbara Steveni: Some Principles of Engagement.

David Harding: Critical reflections on community arts to participatory art and all the rest in between.

You’re the Pioneer, You Add the Title…
Paul Gorman asks what is an artist if not a pioneer? To pioneer means to stray from the path, to uncover, to re-imagine. It requires a boldness and confidence. The path has been made by others – perhaps straying from it is our only option?

What do we mean by ‘Professionalism’? Presentations, conversation and Q & A
The work of artists in participatory settings often isn’t taken seriously, or regarded as ‘proper’ work’. What would it take for the practice to be regarded as truly professional? How can you show the work you do is of the highest standard? With Stephanie Knight, Kathryn Deane & Paul Gorman.

3 Pecha Kucha sessions highlight work by 16 artists and organisations from across Scotland.

Tickets can be purchased from the Citizens Theatre box office.

We look forward to seeing you there!
