The Art of Engagement symposium explores innovative partnerships between
contemporary visual artists, communities and corporate organisations. It
takes the long-term Western Sydney project C3West as the starting point
for a dialogue about contemporary art and its new modes of engagement.
Speakers include French multimedia artist Sylvie Blocher; Michael
Krichman, US Executive Director of inSite, the acclaimed bi-national
arts festival that built new networks across the San Diego / Tijuana
border; Karin Becker, Professor of Media and Communication Studies at
Stockholm University; and Frank Panucci, Director of Community
Partnerships at the Australia Council for the Arts.
C3West is an initiative of cultural partners Museum of Contemporary Art,
Sydney, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Casula Powerhouse and Penrith
Performing and Visual Arts. Established in 2006, in its first three
years C3West explored and delivered a range of projects in Western
Sydney for artists to extend their practice beyond the gallery. Each
project is developed through a unique collaborative process, bringing
together businesses, artists and communities.
C3West is assisted by the NSW Government through Arts NSW and by the
Australia Council, the Australian Government's arts funding and advisory
body, through its Community Partnership section. The University of
Western Sydney is a research partner with C3West, funded through an
Australian Research Council Linkage Project grant.
