International Slavery Museum is dedicated to truthfully presenting the history, impact, and ongoing legacies of transatlantic racial slavery.

The museum officially opened on 23 August 2007, on Slavery Remembrance Day. It developed from a small gallery established in 1994 in the basement of the Merseyside Maritime Museum following years of campaigning by Liverpool’s Black communities and activists. It has since welcomed millions of visitors from around the world.

Art in Liverpool was established in 2004 to support artists and artist-led space, and has spent the last two decades seeking to share news and events on an equal platform for the biggest institutions and smallest start ups.

The new login function for the site allows two roles:

Create an artist profile.
Add up to five images, and audio visual links to embed video or sound content.
Link to your own website or social media.
Host your CV and Exhibition History.
Submit blog posts for the new Artist Blogs & News section.

No profiles, but your submissions will link to any live page dedicated to your gallery (for freelance producers, it will be easier to set up an artist profile – there is an artform box that allows you to assign Producer as your role).

Submit events directly once your account is approved.
Submit jobs & calls.
Share producer blogs and stories about your gallery / group.

This new feature is in addition to whole new website, and is very much is BETA. All entries will be live.

Cost: free. As with everything from Art in Liverpool, we’re here to support the art world. This doesn’t cost us anything, so it shouldn’t cost you anything.

Ownership: You, the artist or producer, own the rights to your work, and we will never sell any of your content. By uploading to www.artinliverpool.com you agree that Art in Liverpool C.I.C. can share your stories, but with the assurance that it will be given with full credit, and links to your own social media or websites if you have them.
