Making Room
An event creating space for freelance voices in cultural policy in Cornwall
A morning event all about the power of individuals and freelancers. Together we will explore how we can make positive changes to the creative and cultural sector, particularly focusing on how freelancers can be more included in policy making.
We will start with an introduction to the new Creative Kernow Associates pilot programme (launching in late September) and updates from Cornwall Council’s culture team. Creative Practitioner Dicky Souray will then share reflections and challenges from his own freelance journey to set the scene for the day, before we move on to smaller group sessions on:
- The future strategy for the performing arts sector in Cornwall with Helen Tiplady, Deputy Creative Director, Hall for Cornwall & Rebecca Mordan, Artistic Director, Scary Little Girls;
- ReWilding Arts Leadership with artist and Clore fellow Sovay Berriman - how can art bring change at governance, executive and policy-making levels;
- The power of artist collectives and connectivity with Lynne Speake, artist and founder of Precious Collective.
We will come back together for a discussion with all speakers and facilitators, chaired by Dicky Souray.
A light lunch will be provided from 1.15pm to carry on these conversations. A limited number of £75 honorariums are available for those who requires contribution for their time to attend, which will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
This event is for freelancers working across the creative and cultural sector, as well as those representing creative and cultural organisations.
All rooms are wheelchair accessible.
