A collection of reflections on Social Art Network's two-day event in Sheffield, November 2018. The Social Art Summit involved 300 practitioners in an artist-led review of socially engaged practices.
The Social Art Summit took place in Sheffield, 1-2 November 2018, convening over 300 practitioners and wider audiences for an artist-led review of socially engaged practice. It was organised by Social Art Network, co-founded by Eelyn Lee and R.M. Sánchez-Camus (Marcelo) in 2016 as ‘a UK based community of artists committed to building agency for the field of social art practice with four goals: creating a platform to showcase and discuss current work, expanding critical and reflective dialogue around the work, developing a national network of artists to strengthen peer support and artists’ development, and by doing this building a database of current, past and historic projects.’ The Social Art Summit was co- convened by Eelyn and Marcelo with guest-convener Ian Nesbitt.
