New Work Network

New Work Network supports the development of artists engaged in experimental, interdisciplinary and boundary-breaking arts practices including: fine-art based performance, new media, live art, experimental dance, site-specific work, sonic art, moving image, sci-art and socially engaged practice. We initiate unique, practice-based professional development programmes that respond to the specialist needs of artists to enable them to engage critically and contribute to society. We also nurture practitioners to be entrepreneurial by guiding them through the development of artist-led initiatives that provide them with fundamental and sustainable skills and generate activities that complement institutional cultures. As a catalyst for networking, knowledge-transfer, skills exchange and collaboration, we activate encounters between artists, arts professionals and stakeholders to forge new relationships that create opportunities for artists locally, nationally and internationally. New Work Network also strives to advance social and cultural confidence in practitioners by motivating new routes for audiences, existing and new stakeholders, to access, experience, participate and invest in the often invisible, but absolutely essential processes, that sustain artists to ‘make work’.
