How to Plan and Implement an Arts Project
Arts projects, big or small, require good management and careful attention to detail to be successful. Having a good plan helps to take the uncertainty out of preparation and at least some of the pain out of delivery. This workshop introduces arts workers to the principles of effective project management and explains how a little method to the madness will help to produce a better result. Topics to be covered include project management principles, making a project plan and project evaluation. At the end of the session student will understand the importance of having a plan, be able to write up a project plan and know how to go about evaluating a successful event.
Facilitator: Stephen Clark at Flying Arts.

How to Put on an Exhibition in Alternate Spaces or Public Galleries
Getting into the commercial gallery system is not always easy or desired and so many artists develop their own opportunities either by targeting public galleries or finding their own spaces to show their work. This workshop covers both an individual and group approach to getting exhibitions in public galleries but also on how to source and set up other opportunities – from using existing set up gallery spaces, non gallery spaces such as cafes etc to setting something up in a new space from scratch either on an ongoing basis or as a one-off. The workshop covers all stages of the project from writing proposals, developing cohesive group themed shows, effective decision making and structure of roles for artist groups, to all the aesthetics and business elements needed for a successful exhibition.Facilitator: Kevin Wilson at Artworkers.
