Turning Points -
a ‘Yorkshire Project’?

An open forum discussion with guest speakers

16th July 2009
13:00 - 16:00
Round Foundry Media Centre, Leeds

You are cordially invited to participate in the first in a programme of events about developing a new strategy for the visual arts in Yorkshire and the Humber.

What sort of project could significantly raise the profile of the visual arts in Yorkshire & Humber - regionally, nationally and internationally? Who should it be for, who should be involved, how might it be resourced and managed? And what ideas and initiatives are currently being developed in the region?

• An opportunity to learn from others’ experience, hear about current initiatives, and contribute ideas
• An opportunity to meet and share views with members of the interim group that is steering the first phase of Turning Point in Yorkshire & Humber.

Guest speakers include:

Paul Domela, Senior Curator, Liverpool Biennial
Peter Jenkinson, Cultural Broker (presenter, Channel 4 ‘Big Art’)
Jean Cameron, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts

The event is free and a light lunch will be provided but places are limited.
To book your place please RSVP Ann Sweeney ann@beam.uk.net 01924 215550

		Turning Point is the Arts Council’s 10-year strategy for strengthening the visual arts in England, working in partnership with the visual arts sector. In Yorkshire, an interim Steering Group has been formed to guide the initial exploratory phase of the Turning Point initiative in the region in 2009. A report and draft Strategy will be released for consultation in December.			Turning Points is a programme of Open Forum talks and discussions, to stimulate ideas and provide opportunities for exchange between the visual arts sector, Steering Group members, and colleagues from other sectors within and outside the arts.
