Fly Eric Symposia series - Changing perceptions of what artists can do
NO. 2: Expanding possibilities for artists’ professional practice and opportunities for artists in the creative industries.
Saturday 30 May
The Storey Gallery is newly located in the Storey Creative Industries Centre and is keen to utilise this situation to investigate avenues for artists to gain a professional status and income.
Artists have commercially valuable skills which are often not recognised, either by themselves or others.This symposium will explore some examples of artists who are doing that, and some routes for development. Speakers include artist and cultural icon Linder Sterling, artist and architect team Sans façon, and artist Olivia Plender. Each speaker will talk about their experience of working within the commercial creative industries and making the most of these opportunities.
The event is chaired by Mitra Memarzia.
Storey Gallery, The Storey Institute, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster, LA1 1TH
