Delivered in partnership with Cultivator and supported by the European Regional Development Fund, HM Government, Arts Council England and Cornwall Council.

A four-hour, online workshop aimed at practitioners who have a project they would like to self-organise and direct. It was provided for CAMP (Contemporary Art Membership Plymouth) a member-led network for the creative and visual arts community in Devon and Cornwall, including artists, producers, curators and arts writers.

For those who have not previously organised and run their own projects, it can seem a daunting task. Yet being able (and willing) to do so, opens up new opportunities for others to see and engage with them and their work. Understanding what is required, together with the benefits of working collaboratively to realise ideas, will instil confidence and clarity on the steps required.

The workshop was be delivered as a series of steps designed to build knowledge, understanding and confidence to develop and execute a self-initiated project. Participants were asked to join the session with an idea in mind, whether they intended to see it to fruition or not, to provide a backdrop on which to map the actions they’d need to consider to turn it into reality.
