101 Outdoor Arts

A symposium at 101 imagining the next 10 years of Outdoor Arts.

Presented by 101 in partnership with OutdoorArtsUK and Without Walls.

To mark 10 Years of 101, we hosted a symposium imagining the next 10 years of Outdoor Arts with OutdoorArtsUK and Without Walls. Diving into lively peer-to-peer discussions and shaping the future of Outdoor Arts.

In the evening, we threw an unforgettable party where we danced, enjoyed a delicious celebratory dinner, indulged in an extra special birthday cake and toasted to our journey over the last decade and many more to come.

Reflect. Reimagine. Redefine. A Symposium Imagining the Next 10 years + Outdoor Arts National Survey

Day Programme - Imagining the next 10 years of Outdoor Arts

We marked 10 years of 101’s work by looking forward to the future of the outdoor arts sector with our fellow national outdoor arts organisations Outdoor Arts UK and Without Walls.

A global pandemic, a cost of living crisis, Brexit and now a change of government. It feels like high time for the Outdoor Arts sector to take stock and look to the future.

How can we build on the successes of the last decade whilst coming to terms with the challenges we face? How can outdoor arts remain inspiring and relevant in an ever- changing world? What could a positive version of the future look like for our sector and what do we need to put in place to make that a reality?

This was a chance for those of us who want to shape the vision for the next decade of outdoor arts to feed into that thinking. We wanted to create a collective vision that can represent our hopes and desires. Artist or producer, festival or funder - everyone joined us as part of the journey.

This day-long event included lunch, round table discussions, networking, inspirational visions and a chance to contribute to a sector-wide vision of how arts in public space can grow and thrive over the next decade.

Outdoor Arts National Survey

During the symposium, we announced our intention to commission a sector strategy document, in collaboration with OutdoorArtsUK and Without Walls.

As part of the strategy, we're conducting a national survey about the current state and future direction of Outdoor Arts. The survey aims to enable the sector to come together and make stronger arguments to funders, the public and the Government.

Your honest input is crucial—fill out the survey to ensure it reflects the entire sector.

101's 10th Birthday Party

Evening Celebration - A Dose of Double Digit Decadence

101 let its hair down with an evening of art, music, feasting and celebration marking its first ten years and toasting the next decade with its friends, family and funders.

Appropriately reflecting 101’s odyssey and the adventures to come, amazing nine-piece brass band Perhaps Contraption kicked off the evening with a special promenade performance of The Journey - a fusion of musical finesse and flamboyant visual vernacular.

We were treated to a feast of culinary delights by 101’s trusty caterer Treble Steff, followed by some of 101’s oldest and dearest friends who created a cabaret of curiosities and sublime surprises.

To round the evening off, some of Oxford’s top muso’s recreated the jazz-reggae vibes of the legendary guitarist Ernest Ranglin and there was dancing to top tunes from DJ Dubious.
