Invite of CODA representative to Visual Arts UK Future Forecasting event

[drewhemment]

Hi all

Thanks to all who attended the CODA meeting at FutureEverything.
Following the event I was asked to invite a 'representative' from CODA
to the event below. I shall forward this to Simon P, Rachel, Honor and
Pauline but thought I would share here also.

Dear Drew

We would like to invite a representative from CODA to this meeting on
the 16th June - could you forward to whom ever you think that person
should be ? With many thanks

Dear Colleague

Since 2008 we, as a group of national membership, representative and
strategic agencies have been meeting regularly under the name of '
Visual Arts UK'. Having come together initially to share information
and ideas, support each other and provide a collective voice for the
visual arts at a time of great change, in 2010 we received a
Cultural Leadership Networks grant to undertake a leadership and
development programme.

This programme is now drawing to a close and we would like you to join
us in the final event on the 16th June (in London vtbc). This is
framed as a forecasting event and will be an opportunity to explore
together what it is that we, as a visual arts community need to be
asking of government, policy makers and funders in this new and
largely untested landscape. How do we understand the current ecology,
can we address both immediate issues and look towards those of the
next funding round?

The afternoon will include scence setting from two invited speakers
followed by a facilitated discussion session. More information very
shortly.

We hope very much that you will be able to join us; please RSVP:
