Visual artists and makers networking in Leicester, Friday 7th June 2019, at LCB Depot. Book on Eventbrite. Please note this is for professional makers and visual artists living and working in Leicestershire and Rutland only.

Alongside my studio practice, I am also currently working as a consultant developing plans and proposals to develop the Made in Leicestershire brand for Creative Leicestershire. I have been working on this for 15 months and will be producing a report and proposals in July. Its been a delight talking to makers and galleries, running networking events and exploring what Leicestershire has to offer. I also put together the exhibition Tacit last year showcasing some of the finest artist-makers in the county. I will also be interviewing two artists this year for the Webinart creative business development programme.

If you are Leicestershire or Rutland-based maker, please fill in this short online survey to have your say about the future of the programme to support your work. And come along to the networking event.

Please join Creative Leicestershire for networking, artist talk and discussions. This event is for professional visual artists and craftspeople based in Leicester city and Leicestershire.

The event takes place alongside Lucy Stevens’ exhibition ‘Birdskins’ and she will give us a short introduction to her practice and the exhibition. Ruth Singer will be facilitating the networking and gathering your thoughts on future networking activities.
