2nd July. 7 - 9PM
Join us for an evening with curator and producer Teresa Gleadowe, who will be in conversation about her work developing ambitious public programmes in Cornwall and beyond. Teresa founded CAST, a vibrant visual arts space and community hub dedicated to making, learning and exchange, which supports artists through residencies, projects and research. She was also responsible for the development of Groundwork, an ambitious programme of international contemporary art that took place at locations across West Cornwall in 2018.
Rooted in Cornwall’s distinct cultural landscape, Teresa’s work has contributed significantly to shaping contemporary visual arts in the region. Through CAST and Groundwork, she has helped create platforms where artists can live, work and develop ideas within a rural and coastal context — demonstrating that serious, critically engaged practice can flourish outside metropolitan centres. This conversation will explore what it means to build lasting cultural infrastructure in Cornwall: the opportunities, the constraints, and the importance of long-term commitment to place and community. The evening will conclude with questions from the audience.
Suitable for artists, organisers, students and anyone interested in how thoughtful, artist-led spaces come into being and endure.
