Developing the Ecology of the Art Schools in the West Midlands

It is widely predicted that the period following the economic crisis of 2008 will be a 'lost decade' with no economic growth and a consequent absence of opportunities for a generation to initiate their careers. At a time when Universities are undergoing huge changes, this day conference, facilitated by Turning Point West Midlands, explores what is needed to place the region's art schools at the centre of a dynamic, sustainable cultural ecology.

 

Speakers include Lynda Morris of EASTInternational, Colin Greenslade of the Royal Scottish Academy, artist Hadrian Pigott, and artist-academics based in the region including Mona Casey, and Professor Antonia Payne.

 

A minibus shuttle will be available at Coventry Station at 9.30am to bring people to and from the University of Warwick campus from Coventry station at the beginning and the end of the conference. For further travel directions visit, www.warwickartscentre.co.uk/visit/getting-here

Creative industries: a driver for growth

Posted: 26 Oct 2011 07:11 AM PDT

Creative Industries Minister Ed Vaizey has urged West Midlands business leaders to invest in the creative industries as part of ambitious plans to boost the economy of Greater Birmingham and Solihull.


The Government minister was in Birmingham (25/10/11) to discuss the Creative City initiative.


Led by the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership, The Creative City initiative aims to stimulate investment by:


- Creating a fund to build on existing public sector funding of the arts through loans, grants, match-funding and investments. The allocation of funds will be based on the potential for job creation and economic growth.


- Outlining the vision for a new 'museum quarter', including a new museum of photography and the development of a new contemporary art gallery.


- Exploring ways to unlock private sector and philanthropic support for culture, linking cultural development to wider economic growth.
