South West Participatory Artists Network (SWPAN)
SWPAN is a new organisation for artists who work with other people, in all forms of art - music, dance, drama, visual arts etc. It aims to support, develop and promote debate, skills and practice for artists and arts workers who inspire creative collaboration in social contexts. The basic principle behind SWPAN is that its services and activities will come from what artists themselves want and need. It was launched on 7th September 2006 when a Regional Gather for Participatory Artists was held at the Genesis Centre, Somerset College of Arts and Technology, Wellington Road, Taunton TA1 5AX. Running from 10.30 to 4.30 it offered opportunities to network and communicate, to share experiences and to make new friends. The day also included information on training courses (including the new Open College Network Level 3 Participatory Arts course) and a chance to determine how the Network will develop and work, and what artists want to see on its website. The launch event fee of £10 included lunch and one year’s membership of SWPAN, thanks to the generous support of Arts Council England, Grants for the Arts, ArtsMatrix and Dartington Creative Enterprise.
