Development of artistic practice through working cross-UK and internationally.
Collaboration with and learning from artists, creative practitioners and organisations cross-UK and internationally.
Development of early relationships with artists, creative practitioners and organisations with a longer-term view of developing cross-UK and international markets and audiences for work and building profile internationally.
