This Is How We Do It // Let Artists Be Artists (Strike A Light)

What happens if you pay artists to just…be artists? Are there alternative ways to imagine the arts industry? That was the idea behind this experiment – and we’ll share some learnings from our first year of trying it in the wild.

Over the past couple of years, quite a few people have asked us to tell us more about the way we’re doing things. We want to hear about how other people are taking on some of the challenges we all face, too! So we’re going to open a room on Zoom for 90 mins, once a week for 3 weeks, in early January to give some space for sharing and discussion about the practice of contemporary arts, cultural events and maybe even social change – in our city of Gloucester and beyond.
