NAVA PRESENTS FUTURE/FORWARD THE NATIONAL VISUAL ARTS SUMMIT
Future/Forward – The National Visual Arts Summit 6 – 7 November 2014
Carriageworks, Sydney NSW
Future/Forward is a two-day summit that will bring together arts practitioners, academics and industry professionals to engage in discussions about the current state of the visual arts in Australia and to imagine new possibilities for developing contemporary practice.
Tamara Winikoff, NAVA’s Executive Director says, "This is the first visual arts summit to be held in Australia. It will provide a great opportunity for speakers and delegates to grapple with important issues around which there are conflicting views. We look forward to enabling the sector to engage publicly with some of the hard things that matter to all of us."
Brianna Munting, NAVA’s Deputy Director says, "The summit is designed to enable robust discussions on the issues facing artists and the arts industry and to develop strategies and networks for strengthening the sector to make significant changes needed for the future."
Topics for discussion during the two-day program include:
• When is censorship justified?
• What is the impact of art structures on contemporary practice?
• What is the current state of Australian art critique?
• What are the environmental and social tipping points for contemporary arts practice?
• How can the arts sector be its own best advocate?
Support for this national dialogue is offered through travel bursaries in several states made available to art practitioners to attend the summit from around Australia. The bursaries will cover flights, accommodation, per diems and summit registration fees.
