Collaboration in the field is the sixth and final workshop in a series of six practical artist professional development sessions for artists working within socially engaged practice, hosted by Heart of Glass in collaboration with Mark Devereux Projects. The sessions will take place in St Helens between November 2018 and April 2019. Find out more about this programme and Mark Devereux Projects here.

Socially engaged practitioners work with a variety of people, from the public to local authorities, and often require several different ‘voices’.

This sixth session will be co-facilitated by artist Shaun C. Badham, please find more information below.
