ArtWorks Scotland
ArtWorks
The ArtWorks initiative is a workforce scheme that seeks to meet the needs of artists at different stages in their careers - from the aspiring young artist embarking on training, to experienced practitioners who wish to progress their output. It is seeking to build on good practice to enhance the existing development infrastructure.
ArtWorks Scotland is part of UK wide programme of investment, ArtWorks: Developing Practice in Participatory Settings by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation (PHF) with support and funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Creativity Culture & Education (supported by Arts Council England) and the Cultural Leadership Programme.

Action research
Three lines of inquiry1. Are we developing increased connectivity and joined up thinking at all levels in the sector? 2. What are the skills, knowledge and qualities that artists need to work in participatory settings and how best can we support artists to develop these? 3. What does quality look like and how best can we enhance the quality of this work in Scotland?
Activity
• Events – conference, symposia
• Peer to peer networks
• Research – skillset and quality
• Piloting and embedding
What areas are we likely to pilot in?

community of practice
• HE/FE – undergraduate courses, placements
