Goldsmiths in collaboration with ALISN invites you to the first annual
Conference for Emerging Art Organisers 2011

4 - 7pm, Thursday 24 November
Screening Room LG01
New Academic Building
Goldsmiths
University of London

The event is open to anyone involved in an organisational capacity in the emerging arts. This includes the running of galleries, artist-led spaces, project spaces, pop-up projects, collectives, art publications, art broadcasting, or any other activity engaged in promoting or enabling emerging art.

The Conference for Emerging Art Organisers is a response to a perceived need for communication and networking platform for art organisers; moreover, one that is both concise in time and wide in scope, so that maximum exchange can occur, with the least detraction from organisers’ core activities. The aim of the conference is to provide this to a diverse set of organisers; to advance cross-awareness; and to germinate collaboration.

The Conference will comprise of two separate panel discussions, led by a moderator and with full audience participation. All attendees are encouraged to prepare a contribution based on the discussion topics listed below. There will be informal networking opportunities between and after.

The first discussion will commence with 10 minute presentations by panel members, followed by a moderated discussion and Q&A between the panel and the audience. The topic of discussion will be ‘Creative Solutions to Real-Life Challenges Faced by Contemporary Emerging Art Organisers’. The audience is invited to prepare questions and insights to contribute to this topic.

This will be followed by a tea-break and an opportunity for the audience and panel to mingle and meet.

The second panel discussion will address the topic ‘Immediate and Indirect Benefits of Cross-Organisational Collaborations’. It will proceed along the same format. The audience is once again encouraged to prepare questions and comments for the panel and to be actively involved in the discussion.

At the end, attendees will be invited to contribute suggested topics for discussion at next year’s EAO Conference.

There will be an opportunity for informal networking and drinks in the garden of the Hobgoblin Pub nearby afterwards.
