This January 56 artists came together to make new connections across the country. Pairing peers from different networks artists began conversations and collaborations, supported by a wide-ranging programme of participant-led workshops which included everything from an exploration of the living creatures our vicinity to quiet crits.
This summit concludes The Exchange 2 with a sharing of activities, outcomes, processes and experiences from artists who have taken part which aims to reflect the breadth of practices and approaches.

What is The Exchange?
THE EXCHANGE 2 is the second iteration of a project connecting artists and creative practitioners across the UK. Bridging the gap created by limited movement and opportunity to network The Exchange aims to create new exchanges and friendships between artists that wouldn’t otherwise be able to connect. This open-ended process has no limits or boundaries but is simply framed by the invitation to begin a conversation.
The Exchange 2 builds upon the 2021 iteration of the project where 56 artists across the UK were paired together with the simple invitation to begin a conversation. The artist pairs valued the connection to another peer to think alongside and support one another. Although there was no anticipation of a formal outcome artists did make together resulting in video collages, animation, sacred knotting installations and performances. The variety of responses, levels of connection, outcomes and conversations was vast and far-reaching with some artists connecting for a short time and others who will continue to talk and collaborate long into the future.
Eastside Projects (EOP), CAMP, Castlefield Gallery (Associates), The NewBridge Project, Primary, Spike Island (Spike Island Associates), and Turf Projects have each selected 8 artists from their networks to take part in the project through an open call. In total 58 artists will participate.
