From artistic co-operatives, individual artists, artist-led no profit spaces to commercial galleries, there are many models for making, distributing and appreciating art. Drawing from the experiences of Company Drinks and Colchester Makerspace, the talk will map these different artistic economies and reflect upon the many ways of defining and sustaining artistic practices.
