We are pleased to announce the keynote speakers for this year’s event.

Key Note: Duggie Fields

British artist Duggie Fields, joins us to talk about his life long career in the creative Industries and highlights the diverse opportunities that has arisen during his life as an artist. Fields’ body of work is marked by a distinct signature style of post-Pop figuration, and self-described MAXIMALism – marrying imagery from classical and popular culture along with art history. Presenting works from the 1970s to the present day, it is easy to see the inextricable blurring between Fields’ work and his life and his wide cultural significance over the last five decades.

 Key Note:Director Tap

The Plymouth based, arts action group, Director Tap, will join us to share an overview of their company and their very successful formula of engaging and empowering the public, through art related workshops and skills development practice. They will explore their current Models of grassroots engagement to explain how this engenders relationships between the arts and FE/HE within a socially engaged context

They work with FE/HE lecturers and young creatives to foster skills development and help to retain these skills in the local area.
