An opportunity for media artists to find out more about the expanding employment/commissioning opportunities in the Regeneration and Housing sector.

Inspired by Vital Regenerations recent collaboration with the City Of Westminster and CityWest Homes to create FreqOUT! (http://www.freqout.blogspot.com), this will be an opportunity for media artists to find out more about the expanding employment and commissioning opportunities in the Regeneration and Housing sector.

Invited speakers from housing and regeneration agencies, and media artists who have experience of the field, will explore housing associations objectives when commissioning arts projects. The forum will also explore barriers that artists experience to working in this arena.

Artists attending will leave with an understanding of the skills and capabilities needed to work in this context, and the challenges of working with young people, who are often the main beneficiaries of creative regeneration schemes. This will be an opportunity for both perspectives - arts and housing - to share their experiences and increase their likelihood of participating in successful arts and regeneration partnerships in the near future.
