GENERATIVE SPACES

The Creative Powers of the Art Library

ARLIS UK & Ireland Annual Conference | 3-5 July 2023 | Norwich

The art library is a container, a protector and an organiser, but it is also a creator. This year’s ARLIS conference will celebrate and interrogate the art library’s power to generate tangible and intangible cultures. Inspired by our host city’s pioneering history in the production of books, print and literature, we invite attendees to consider the art library’s role in the production of new ideas, practices, meanings and relationships, and their potential.
