Reardon Smith Lecture Theatre, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NP

This day-long symposium, for artists, curators and museum professionals, examines how artists can work with museum collections to both extend and enhance artists' practice and open collections up in new and interesting ways.

The event will include:

• James Putnam, curator and writer, discussing shifts in the way that artists are working with museum collections and their role in activating engagement.
• Andrew Renton, Head of Applied Art at the National Museum of Wales, in conversation with artist Sarah Younan about their collaboration and what artists can bring to the interpretation of collections.
• Jon Monaghan, artist and animator, leading a workshop on 3d printing as a tool for creating user-generated content.
• Artist Helen Snell, talking about collaboration and what it's like to work in the 'institution' of a museum.
• Emma Price, independent art consultant, offering practical advice on developing projects that utilise museum collections.
