Throughout May and early June MRA Project Space will be hosting OpenFORUM – a series of workshops, talks, screenings and performances presented by professional development organisations, artist-led groups, curators and publications.

Organisations as diverse as Live Art Development Agency, ArtQuest, John Jones, Impulsive Random Platform, Reactor (Nottingham), East Street Arts (Leeds) and Basement Art Projects will take over the exhibition space for a morning, afternoon, evening, or full-day session to present events supporting artists’ professional development, discussions around issues in contemporary art/practice, performance-presentations and publication launches at our Project Space on Vyner Street in the heart of East London’s art scene.

OpenFORUM aims to provide a highly-visible platform for the involved organisations to share their knowledge with artists about the ways in which they can best develop their career, as well as creating an open environment for exchange and discussion whilst showcasing a diverse array of artist-led organisations working within the UK.
