Welcome to the second of the three-part Arts and Audiences conference series which will take place in Stockholm on October 10th to 12th. Save the dates in your calendar now!
As with the 2011 conference, which was held in collaboration with Bergen International Festival in Norway, we are pleased that this years’ conference will be held in Sweden in collaboration with Nordic Music Days (October 10.-13.), a Nordic festival for contemporary music.
For this years’ conference the main theme will be about inclusion in the arts. Again Audiences Norway invites artists, artistic directors, curators, producers, learning managers, communication managers, cultural architects and strategists to join forces and investigate common goals and ways of collaboration.
The conference will take place at Hotel Rival, a remodeled 1937 cinema which is now a boutique hotel, pleasantly situated on the Maria Square.
The program for the conference is currently being planned, if you have any input please send an e-mail to donia.nilsen (at) norskpublikumsutvikling.no.
