GROUNDWERK 5.1: Accessible Art Language

SAT 27 APRIL 2:30-4pm // FREE & OPEN TO ALL

BOOK >>

 

How can you speak and write about your art in a way that’s accessible to everyone?

Looking at various barriers that ‘artspeak’ and ableist language can create, we’ll work together to explore how to clearly communicate about your art and ideas in a way that is accessible and inclusive. We’ll discuss different ways that you can attract wider and more diverse audiences by using inclusive language and text.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended, as spaces are limited.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
