Working With Audiences
engage Scotland Conference 2007
National Gallery of
Scotland
31 October / 1 November
Background
The theme for this year's engage Scotland Conference, sprang from a
conversation about involving young people in art galleries. Much valuable work
has been done in this area and it is interesting to reflect upon why galleries
might be working with young people in particular.
With this in mind Working With Audiences aimed to widen the discussion and look
more broadly at involving audience groups in general and the impact that this
can have on programming, gallery education activities, audience development and
the development of institutions themselves.
