PASW Regional Newsletter: Autumn 2005

Next Regional Network Meeting

The next meeting is on Thursday 17th November in Plymouth. The event is entitled'ëEngineering Innovation: constructive collaborations between artists and engineers'. PASW has worked with Bristol Cultural Development Partnership to develop this meeting in the context of the celebrations to mark Brunel's anniversary and the programme of events taking place as part of Brunel 200. The speakers will include Andrew Kelly from Bristol Cultural Development Partnership, artist, Richard La Trobe-Bateman, Mark Lovell from Mark Lovell Design Engineers, Tim Lucas from Price & Myers 3D Engineering and Wolfgang Buttress of Wolfgang and Heron.

At the last regional network meeting, evaluation sheets were handed out and some very useful feedback, which will inform the programme of future meetings, was received. Following on from this feedback, a list of all the Network meetings held to date is included. Detailed information on public art practice in the South West or information on Public Art South West is always available on this website.
