Labs and Symposia
101Labs is our professional development programme for artists who create work for the outdoors and public spaces, and for those who would like to consider making outdoor work.
With the future of outdoor arts as its focus, the 101Labs programme brings practitioners together for inspiration, discussion, debate and training.
"I’ve had an incredible experience, its completely reinvigorated my creative side. I’ve really enjoyed the writing exercises and meeting our facilitators who are incredible. 101 is vital, generous and completely inclusive."
Wendy Blemings, Writers Lab delegate
We aim to turn knowledge and perspective into collaborative thought, that can influence innovation in outdoor arts.
The Events
101Labs programme includes:
- Residential workshops
- Large scale symposia
- Intimate seminars and networking events.
The Place
The Labs all take place at 101, and benefit from our creative environment and facilities. Our residential events allow participants to live, work and explore together in a truly immersive learning environment.
The People
The 101Labs programme is devised and produced in partnership with renowned companies such as Mimbre, Wildworks and many others.
101Labs brings together artists, makers and professionals from international backgrounds.
Participants at any stage of their career can develop their skills and working processes in a supportive environment, or reflect on their practice through peer and expert-led discussion.
101Labs are fantastic networking opportunities, and new collaborations and working relationships are often formed.
