OS with Artists

[joralt]

Dear Kerry

 

So far my experience is quite frustrating as the level of skepticism in this
region towards anything inclusive and open is rather high.

When I search the web, there is very little activity that’s going on and a
recent symposium that was held on the subject of the current affairs in the
field of the visual arts, was held in the usual "know it all experts" style,
"explaining" the problems to the community of artists, who were sitting
quietly and listening to what those "experts" have to say.

Still, I believe that a good idea like OS will eventually prevail given some
time to familiarize with the concepts.

Thanks for sharing.

Josef

Hi Josef

 

Open Futures did a series of events with the Scottish Arts Council. 

In fact my first  event was with 175 people to look at the future of 

the theatre sector.    It worked because the whole system (actors, 

directors, administrators, companies across Scotland, funders and the 

media) was in one room - a trolly shed converted into a gigantic 

gallery.

 

The group established a new set of priorities including children's 

theatre, which the Council wanted to promote but did not know how to 

do.  While the event was in 1997, people still talk about the change 

that took place.

 

So, if you can get everyone who has an interest and stake in "the 

artistic community," they will identify their key issues and find 

ways to deal with them.

 

Good luck!
