Another Sam West giving an inspirational speech about the value of the arts

Here are a few of Sam West‘s aims and ambitions:

o to develop sustainable artist networks that function outside traditional economic frameworks,

o to develop models of mutual peer support and provision which bypass the need for government funding,

o to compare and discuss different international models of artist-led organisations and peer-support networks and their relation to existing funding streams,

o to curate collaborative events and exhibitions, that prompt international dialogue and discussion.
