ARIs: What's Next for Artist Led Action?

There have been and continue to be significant changes to funding, space, accessibility, social and cultural expectations of artist led organisations and cooperatives - all factors that contemporary artist led organisations and cooperatives are having to navigate. NAVA is committed to playing a greater advocacy role with ARIs and will be collectively developing content for the Code of Practice that sets a benchmark of best practice relative to these initiatives. As part of HOBIENNALE 2.0 (HB19), NAVA hosts this discussion where key speakers will highlight concerns on behalf of their respective organisations and then generate direct action ideas that the arts sector can take to better support the validity and continuity of artist led organisations and cooperatives.

Key Speakers: Hayley Pigram (Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative), Liam James (Constance), Olivia Koh (recess), Robbie Handcock (play_station). Facilitated by Justine Youssef (NAVA and PARI).

Details: 6.30-8.30pm, Tuesday 19 November 2019, Studio 65 65 Murray St. Hobart
