ArtWorks North East consists of a group of partners from cultural organisations in the north east area, led by Sunderland University. They are looking for artists, producers, art makers, academics, and practitioners to make a contribution to contemporary research via participation in peer artist learning and focus groups.

 

Many artists have 'portfolio' careers, combining performance or making art with work in participatory settings. ArtWorks seeks to enhance this work by identifying and developing best practices in this largely neglected field. The initiative also aims to benefit artists at different stages in their careers –from aspiring young artists embarking on training, to experienced practitioners who want to further develop their output – as well as enhancing the experience of participants working with artists. The initiative will work by improving the training and continuing professional development infrastructure in higher education institutions and arts organisations.
