VASW 2024 Annual Report
We are pleased to share a report of our work across 2024
The report includes information about how we work, our team and Steering Group, highlights from our programme and research, and plans for the future.
VASW advocates for artists and organisations both in the region and through our work with the national CVAN network.
Coming up in 2025, we’ll be supporting artists in the South West through Curator Bank, a new initiative that unlocks mentoring support from curators and organisations across the region.
We’re continuing our Graduate and Early Career Resources in partnership with Universities, with further published in autumn 2025.
Our next Artist and Art Worker Survey will go live in July, collecting critical data that artists and organisations across the region can utilise to inform their work and make cases for investment.
And we’ll continue our work with the West of England Visual Arts Alliance, building on key learning from the first programme and aligning shared challenges and opportunities to strengthen the sector.
We would like to thank our funders and partners Arts Council England, The Postcode Local Trust, Spike Island and CVAN.
A special thanks to our team and Steering Group who are all incredibly committed, dedicated and passionate about the development of the Visual Arts Sector in the South West.
