Focus Groups
ArtWorks North East - Developing Practice in Participatory Settings
Call for artists/producers/art makers/academics/practitioners to make a valuable contribution to important contemporary research via participation in FOCUS GROUPS.
ArtWorks North East, led by the University of Sunderland with a wide range of partner organisations, is one of five UK pathfinder projects. The initiative will work by improving the training and continuing professional development infrastructure in higher education institutions and arts organisations.
FOCUS GROUPS
The establishment of FOCUS GROUPS is part of the activities designed to bring together artists, academics, arts and social sector organisations in a series of critical dialogues, research projects and co-mentoring frameworks, from which will emerge a better understanding of progression and employability where artists are engaging in participatory settings.
ArtWorks North East is seeking artists (newly qualified, mid career, well established) and academics to contribute to FOCUS GROUP meetings. The first meeting will be in week beginning February 6th 2012, facilitated and hosted by one of the following partner organisations.
