Trinity Community Arts will be hosting an event for artists of all media to meet like minded people for food, drink and sharing of ideas. Trinity is keen to support and nurture collaborative practice and is promoting this event as a test for the launch of a framework for artists to exchange ideas, skills and opportunities. This is also an opportunity
for artists to get information about participating in the upcoming Bridges project, running throughout 2012 into 2013, funded by the Arts Council.

It will start with a brief talk from an Arts Council England representative on tips for getting funding in the current financial climate.

The morning will consist of a task based ?speed dating? event where artists will work with others on a series of creative tasks to create weird and wonderful ideas for arts projects based on provided stimuli. This is designed to be a fun rapid-fire activity where the big crazy ideas will sit snugly alongside the small and fragile. It will give participants a sense of who else is out there and what they do.

There will be a lunch break, with food and drink provided, followed by an afternoon session where participants will feed back their fantasy projects and listen to others?. This will be an informal session to exchange ideas, feedback on work that interests you and discuss possible collaborations. It will also feature a talk about the Bridges project, what it is and how to apply.

There are 40 places available which are being offered on a first come first served basis. If you are interested in booking a space or finding out more information please email bridges@3ca.org.uk or call 0117 935 2100 and ask for Edson or Nick.
