The State Of The Arts
Culture Matters #1: Galleries
‘Culture Matters’ is a new series of panel events looking look at how different creative industries have navigated, and will bounce back from, the lockdown.
Our first event explores ‘Galleries’, the essential spaces that connect artists with audiences, which have been largely closed across the UK since the pandemic began. The State of the Arts enlisted three leading figures working with galleries, museums and exhibitions in the North to feature on our panel…
Alistair Hudson – Director of the Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth.
Courtney Spencer – Director of the Leeds Summer Group Show and former director of Left Bank Leeds.
Nicola Triscott – Director/CEO of FACT Liverpool.
From new ideas on the role of institutions, to the changing behaviours of audiences, to the impact of the pandemic on regional culture, there’s plenty to unpack in this hour long chat.
