Artsadmin

Description

Artsadmin creates the conditions for art to explore the spaces in-between. Its work and projects explore the areas between social and environmental justice, the hyper-local and the international.

Artsadmin works with artists, communities and collaborators in the development of creative work and conversations. Ensuring the success of these requires Artsadmin's members to be led by their values, and to live them across everything they do.

• Members nurture vision from artists at all stages of their careers, with care and support.
• Members take action to make projects happen locally, nationally and internationally with creativity and ambition.
• Members cultivate connection, with and in-between artists, communities, programming partners  and funders with generosity and humility.
• Members are actively interested in progressing equity, in the projects they produce and the ways they work with commitment and empathy.

Artsadmin is a collaborative partner, working with artists as they explore and develop new projects, contexts and ways of working. Everything done is part of a unique curated artistic programme, from one-off hour-long creative support sessions at the east London home Toynbee Studios to multi-year global partnership platforms.

Everything Artsadmin does is project-based. Some are artist-led, and some are conceived and led by Artsadmin. Members work to develop and produce these projects and, with venue and festival partners, bring them to audiences locally and globally. At its heart, Artsadmin's work is about collaborating with artists so their projects find the right context, partners and support.

Artsadmin champions projects that speak to the ‘here and now’ really clearly, where artists are asking questions that feel urgent and essential. Valued projects align with Artsadmin's long-standing insistence that the arts have something to say about the climate emergency and social injustice. Projects with an intuitive and rigorous enquiry rather than those making statements about the way the world is or should be are preferred. 

The work Artsadmin produces is neither defined or confined by any one particular artform. Members produce creative, risk-taking projects that connect with the DNA of Artsadmin and the post-punk political context in which it was founded in 1979.
