** EVENT UPDATE** Very pleased to announce that Alice Sharp, independent curator, will be joining us for the event as a reviewer and advisor.  For more info see link below.

emerge ran a series of six events from October to March, including ‘I want to work in Education, but I don’t know how’ and ‘I’m in a group show, but we’ve nothing in common!’. The sessions were based on practical activities for artists aimed at encouraging new projects and new connections.  This session is aimed at bringing those artists back together to continue conversations, and meet artists new to emerge.

If you came to any of the emerge events this is your chance to follow up on those connections that you wished you’d made, or tell us about that project that you hadn’t quite started.  Whether you've already joined emerge or are new to it, bring your sketches, your work and your ideas.  Throughout the afternoon we’ll focus on each project and all contribute ideas for getting it off the ground.  Bring something visible and visual to identify your work and we’ll put our ideas up throughout the space for us, and all OpenFORUM visitors.
