Artist Voices is a series of discussions and conversations that aim to support artist development by unpacking and demystifying key topics and issues of the visual arts ecology through discussion with artists and cultural workers.
To encourage a discursive atmosphere, we invite the audience to ask questions and contribute to the conversation throughout the event. If you would like for the guest speakers to consider questions in advance of the night, please send them to [email protected]
