Initial Introduction for Arts Catalyst Entry
The Arts Catalyst is an Arts Council funded group that push the boundaries of both art and science together. Commissioning artists that aim to utilize (whether critically or experimentally,) both the arts and sciences in performance. The group work around the world (mainly focusing their works in Britain,) to promote the notion of working collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and interests. Along with the artists and scientists involved the arts catalyst group aim to involve the general public in order to gain valuable opinions and thoughts on the sciences and exploring the possibilities and opportunities available to the performers and scientists involved. The arts catalyst have previously organised and commissioned collaborative events including workshops, artist residencies, conferences, publishing’s and research projects along with other styles of experimental collaborative research.
The Arts Catalyst focus mainly on commissioning new artist and presenting their work, providing funding and resources giving the artists the ability to progress and develop work to then be presented in established art venues around the UK and the world such as museums, Galleries and public spaces, Aiming to provide work to engage large audiences to appreciate the works heavily influenced by the sciences and technologies.--Jessie Megs (talk) 09:17, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
