The three workshops will run in the morning and afternoon, so delegates can take part in 2 of 3 workshops during the day.
Each workshop will have one of the keynote speakers as facilitator, with council staff and artist involved in Creative Places to add to the discussion.
The pre conference pack will contain case studies so that delegates can contribute to informed debate.
Workshop details
Enterprise: What were the arguments that enabled Creative Places, a revenue based programme, to create two brand new artists’ studio complexes as part of the economic recovery of neighbourhoods? In a time of ‘more for less’ can cultural enterprise offer value for money and different models?
People: David Barrie / Miranda Plowden / Yorkshire Artspace / starter studio artists
Masterplanning: Has Creative Places embedded culture into the masterplanning process? And how do you have a creative response when recession hits and masterplanning has to change direction?
People: Emily Berwyn, Meanwhile Project/ Andrew Skelton, Public Arts Officer, Sheffield City Council / Alex Shilkoff, South Sheffield Regen Team, artist (tbc)
Wellbeing: As the European Social Survey decides to re-include a comprehensive set of questions on well-being, and Creative Places links housing, environment and wellbeing, will this approach survive a harsher economic climate?
People: Paul Squires, new economics foundation / Dave Arch, North Sheffield Regen Team, artist (tbc)
