Turning Point Network issues call for collaboration and the need for collective action to strengthen our sector.

The Turning Point Network is a series of coordinated regional groups of contemporary visual arts professionals directly involving more than 2,500 individuals and several hundred organisations, large and small, commercial and public, international and local. As such, it represents a diverse and vibrant ecology embracing a broad range of artistic and curatorial practice.

The Network brings together its members to create a platform for collaboration and exchange so that they can share ideas and resources, improve their ability to deliver their work, and shape the future.

They believe that together we are more resilient, sustainable, and effective.

In the coming months, Turning Point Network will redouble its efforts to collectively address the urgent issues facing our sector, such as sustaining the contemporary visual arts ecology as a whole, new business models, engaging local communities, employment, internationalism, and digital technologies.

At the same time, Turning Point will demonstrate how it can enable others to become active and responsible citizens and help society and the economy become bigger, better and stronger.

Turning Point call on all those who are committed to the continued success and vitality of the contemporary visual arts in our country to join them by signing up to this vision here »
