| THE A&AJ CONFERENCE PROGRAMME |
|
| The Art & Architecture Journal (A&AJ) organises the A&AJ Conference Programme,
a series of conferences focusing on public art trends in Europe, particularly the UK, and
concentrating on the interface of art with urban culture. The aim is to
develop and maintain pertinent debates on art in the public environment
by holding regular, interlinked conferences that highlight the salient
issues and projects. |
|
| The purpose of
the conferences is twofold: |
| - firstly, to present current thinking on
art and culture in the public realm with UK and international examples
of innovative activity. |
| - secondly, to create a professional networking
forum for artists and commissioning organisations involved in this
area, where they can share knowledge and exchange experiences. |
|
| Each A&AJ conference is linked to an issue of the A&AJ, with prior funding arranged through professional partners. The A&AJ
is therefore a bespoke publication, which organises a programme of
bespoke, partnered conferences. It's editorial themes support and
document the A&AJ Conference Programme. |
|

continually looking for partners to collaborate with in hosting,
