Groundwerk

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops designed for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

<h3>SAT 25 APR 2020 2:30-4pm // FREE &amp; OPEN TO ALL</h3>What processes and considerations go into creating the permanent artworks we see around us in public spaces?Within a context of constantly shifting urban environments, how can such commissions be best approached in a way that is mindful of histories of the location and the desires of existing communities? And what are the practical considerations around developing robust and long-lasting artworks in public spaces? In this open discussion with art consultant Belinda Holden and local authority placemaking project officer Kate Riggs, we will look at the ins and outs of making public-facing artworks that are built to last and working with funders, collaborators, and audiences involved in such projects. Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended, as spaces are limited.
