Additional Art Fund Going Places free, online collaboration and network building event on Fri 3 Nov

Going Places is a new UK-wide programme that aims to engage and involve underrepresented audiences with museum collections through high quality, collaborative touring exhibitions and public programmes.

Currently in the development phase, Going Places will establish five networks of 2-5 small to mid-sized museums, with each network producing two touring exhibitions over five years (2025-2030). This event will introduce participants to the programme whilst building connections with fellow museums that share common interests, and explore opportunities for working collaboratively, along with the audience benefits this brings.

Further details of the project can be found here.

We encourage anyone interested in applying to Going Places to attend a collaboration and network building event.
