Independents Biennial 2025: Artist Surgery #1
Convenience Gallery
29/08/2024, 12pm – 6pm
Independents Biennial is doing things differently next year. We’ll have the usual commissions, exhibition spaces, and collaborative opportunities for artists, but we also want to support existing projects and drive artist ambitions.So, starting at Convenience Gallery, we’re hosting a series of artist surgeries, asking artists with big ideas for next year, how we can help to achieve them.
Independents Biennial 2025 is happening all over Merseyside, with cultural leaders from each borough supporting artists and planning.
Starting with Convenience Gallery in Wirral, we’re inviting any ideas, from any artists, with anything to do with the Wirral, or any plans that might happen here, to just come and throw them at us.
If we can, we’ll make them a reality for next year’s programme. If we can’t, we’ll keep talking, and we’ll work out what’s missing in Merseyside so that all artists have a level playing field and access to the opportunities and space that they need. If it doesn’t exist yet, maybe we’ll make it.
That’s what these surgeries are for: Working things out together.
From 12-4pm you can drop in, meet some of the Independents Biennial team, and talk through ideas informally.
At 4pm we’ll have a round-table discussion with anyone who wants feedback from fellow artists, and an opportunity to talk through their work.
