Where does contemporary practice exist within rural settings? Where does it show and where is it discussed? Where and what is a rural art space?
The one day symposium was the last day in a series of events which looked at existing and potential cultural spaces and spaces for art across Shropshire.
It was organised for a regional audience of practitioners with invited guests from other regions in the UK who are involved in cultural organisations and initiatives in rural settings.
