What does the future for the creative industries look like?
Within the context of the arts ‘A Labour of Love’ is often defined as a creative endeavour undertaken primarily for personal passion & pleasure rather than for financial gain, recognition or obligation. Questions and discussions delved into the topic as we considered what the future might look like for creative industries.
Using the Long Table format, the event provided an open and welcoming space for all to participate, share perspectives, and reflect together.
A Lois Weaver Long Table format is a dinner party structured by etiquette, where conversation is the only course.
The Sculpture in the City 14th Edition event programme is supported by Activations & Promotions Partner, Eastern City BID – the Business Improvement District for the Eastern City.
