The National Archives Art and Archives Event Series
This blog post presents a summary of content produced as part of the Art360 Foundation Programme (2014 to 2025). It is shared here with the intention of preserving and extending access to the important learnings from this programme of work.
The Friends of The National Archives supported three connected workshops exploring how creative practitioners have historically interacted with institutional and artists’ archives, and how they might engage with such spaces in future.
They took place online between 16 and 18 November 2021, opening a dialogue with the creative community to understand and address opportunities present in the archive for creative practice and barriers preventing artists’ engagement.
The workshops also considered how artists approach their own archives, and how the Art360 Programme has worked with some artists to support them in this.
