This launch event for the Art Writing Programme will explore the possibilities for art writing today. Authors, curators and publishers will present new ways of writing, thinking and disseminating ideas about the visual arts. The focus for discussion will be on how writing can be authored, programmed and disseminated to create a knowledgeable enjoyment of contemporary art.
The AWP is organised by The Art Writers Group and will take place in 2017 in Bristol, Cornwall and Plymouth. The project is funded by Arts Council England and run in partnership with Plymouth Culture, Made in Plymouth, Plymouth Arts Centre, Plymouth College of Art, Plymouth City Council, Arnolfini, Spike Island, St Ives Tate, Newlyn Art Gallery, CAST, Hestercombe and Visual Arts South West.
