Langport Town Centre is the backdrop for the seminar. Please join us for this open minded, inquisitive day to hear of both commissioners’ and artists’ experiences of working with people and places.Participate, discuss and respond, we will directly engage with the surrounding ‘place’ in order to question, contemplate and navigate ways of ‘place-making’ with people and communities across experience and age range.This seminar is relevant for: project workers, artists, the voluntary sector, commissioners.
