What’s this? It’s an annual review of the Margate Art scene. Let’s find out who’s here, what they’re doing and what organisations are working to make art happen in our town.
The Margate Artist Almanac is a non-commercial, artist-led initiative to record an annual snapshot of artists, producers, curators and art organisations who are connected to Margate. It will form an historic record of those who are part of the town’s creative scene and help us understand the art landscape in Margate. Together, over the years, we will build a bigger picture of the ebb and flow of the arts.
Entries are welcome from:
- all artists currently based in Margate, or who have lived and worked in Margate at some point
- all independent producers or curators based in Margate, or who have lived and worked in Margate at some point
- all of Margate’s art organisations (including galleries, venues, studios), past and present
The form only takes between 1 and 4 minutes to complete. It’s smol.
Collecting independent data is important. We know that the arts make a big difference to the well-being, vibrancy and the economy of the area, but no-one knows how many artists and arts people are here. Margate is becoming a key moment in the history of art – let’s ensure everyone is celebrated for their contribution.
We need your help to reach as many people as possible, please share the survey: https://bit.ly/almanac-2024
Deadline: 22nd April 2024
