Sanctuary and the Visual Arts - Platforma Planning

Developed by City of Sanctuary UK and Counterpoint Arts, the Arts Stream of Sanctuary recognises work done by arts organisations with artists and communities from  refugee and asylum seeking backgrounds and helps them build sustainable ongoing programmes. A small but growing number of visual arts studios and venues have joined the programme and we are keen for more to get involved. This meeting will feature short presentations by studios and galleries which have Sanctuary status, to share the work they do, some of the challenges they face and how they address them. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. All welcome, whether you are experienced in this work or coming to it for the first time.
