Calling all writers who love art and artists who use text.....

The Arts Writing Workshop is hosted by BACKLIT Gallery and supported by the Arts Council and the City of Literature. This is session 2 of a four-part series of workshops at different visual arts venues (all in Nottingham) led by Wayne Burrows, with new guest speakers and perspectives introduced each time. The intention is to build a mixed group of writers, performers and artists interested in supporting each-others' practices while developing interests and skills in these areas, with the longer term goal of creating a publication. If you have missed session 1 but want to attend, everyone is welcome - we will provide a recap of key points to new members as part of the introduction

Explore a wide range of critical, creative and practical approaches to writing about art and developing new skills using writing, from artists' statements and arts journalism to developing art-works that incorporate text. Join Wayne Burrows and a mixed group of artists and writers who share your interests for what will hopefully become a regular peer-to-peer support group and network in the city.

The day will consist of an introduction to PRIMARY, their current exhibtion by Melanie Jackson followed by a half-day series of exercises and discussions led by Wayne Burrows.
