The conference of the National Federation of Artists' Studio Providers

Dates & Times: 29 & 30 November & 1 December, Spike Island, Bristol

Artists' studio providers are gaining ground. Developers, planners and arts funders are learning to value what artists have always known ... that artists need a place to research, think, experiment and make work... at the heart of our communities.

The National Federation of Artists' Studio Providers (NFASP) is the new, national organisation promoting the activities of existing studio organisations and helping to develop new ones. GAINING GROUND is our first national conference. It takes place at SPIKE ISLAND in Bristol, one of the UK's most dynamic and inspiring visual arts production and presentation spaces, 29 & 30 NOVEMBER, 2007.

With a range of guest speakers, including artist Gavin Turk, and opportunities for networking, the conference promises to be stimulating, practical and enjoyable.

GAINING GROUND is for studio organisers, artists, those who support artists, funders, developers and planners. Go to www.nfasp.org.uk for membership details, conference programme
