PANEL DISCUSSION
‘Artist & Writer Residencies: BEYOND EVERDAY LIFE’
Chair: Tontxi Vazquez, UK/Puerto Rico
Panel: Sculptor Ed Smith, USA | Writer Liliana Valenzuela, USA | Painter Mark Dilks, USA | Painter Terry Wise, USA
Does an Artist/Writer Residency provide tangible access to mentors, technical expertise, a social-network community and support. Is access to opportunities important and/or crucial to an artist’s or writer’s (career) development? Explore the value of international artist/writer-in-residency programmes and artist/writer residencies as a context to social and cultural inter-change or just as a recharging withdrawal from everyday life.
Curators Tour of COPY0909 Exhibition from 6-6.45pm
CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP
‘Make a Large Sculpture, Give a Small Sculpture’
Free drop-in Family Workshop facilitated by Julie Beech www.art-education.org.uk

Materials sponsored by Peter Jones
