Meet the Curator event Quad 17 May 2012

Meet the Curator
Thursday 17 May, 10.00am – 4.00pm
QUAD, Market Place, Cathedral Quarter, Derby, DE1 3AS       

Creative Derbyshire's 'Meet the Curator' brings together curators, buyers, exhibition organisers and programmers with the most exciting emerging creative talent from Derbyshire. This is a unique opportunity for visual artists, makers and craftspeople to talk directly to representatives from local and regional arts organisations, venues, public and commercial galleries, museums, festivals and events to find out about how and where to display, exhibit and sell their work. 

For an artist, making the first approach to a gallery or an arts organisation can be a daunting prospect, which is why Creative Derbyshire is bringing together artists with the people that have the power to promote artists’ work.  We are also putting together a specialist training package prior to the event which will assist artists in preparing for the day as well as giving them useful tips and ideas on how to be considered for exhibitions, sales and commissioning opportunities. 

'Meet the Curator' is an opportunity for artists to drop in and visit a range of stands and speak to arts organisations face to face about what they are looking for and how to get selected for exhibition or sales opportunities. 

The event is FREE and consists of two identical sessions – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please book onto only one of these sessions.
