Explorers Network Directory

Apart from the many artist residencies, exhibitions and events happening as part of the project and with our partners across the UK and further afield, we are also building the Explorers Network.

We know that bringing people together in this way can deepen understanding, increase opportunities, share best practice, challenge entrenched attitudes and start to build a critical mass.

The story so far suggests the network will be a really exciting and varied community, including project partners and allies but also many organisations who have not been part of the conversation previously, and artists and supported studios nationally and internationally.

At the moment the network is open to join and meet every two months, online, to build connections and share information.

Please let us know if you want to be part of the network by emailing Martin Swan at martin@projectartworks.org.

Join the Explorers Network Directory here.

Meet members of the Explorers Network below.
