Creating Together Symposium
Creating Together Symposium
@ 101 Outdoor Arts
Tuesday 21st November
11am - 4pm
£10 including lunch (+ booking fee)
A one day symposium on co-creation, participation and engagement in the arts outdoors and in public space
A one day symposium for artists, producers, commissioners, festivals and public bodies that aims to explore how projects and programmes that take place outdoors and in public space can offer unique creative engagement opportunities for communities, artists and organisations alike.
With a rich tradition spanning more than fifty years, artists working outdoors have created imaginative and impactful participatory and socially-engaged work often with a unique ability to develop powerful feelings of collective identity and sense of place. With individual creativity a central part of Arts Council England’s ten year strategy Let’s Create, this event explores the many forms that creating work with communities takes.
The symposium will interrogate the role of the artist, commissioner and audience, the tricky balance of process and product and what the relationship might be between co-creation, participation and the evolution of new approaches to touring. Alongside guest speakers and panel sessions there will also be a chance to pose your own questions, take part in discussions and help to develop new models of practice for the outdoors.
Presented by 101 Outdoor Arts in association with Without Walls.

101 Outdoor Arts is an accessible venue with accessible parking bays, accommodation, rehearsal spaces and WC facilities. The presentations at Creating Together will be signed and recorded.
