    CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTS MANCHESTER ACE ACTIVITY REPORT Overview During the summer of 2009 Contemporary Visual Arts Manchester (CVAM) was focused on a research phase. We needed to understand some of the possibilities before embarking on a programme of development. During the research phase a brief was drawn up for an economic impact report that would dovetail with some work that the Renaissance North West Museums group had already completed. We also undertook a research trip to the Low Countries to: ‐ Look at urban places comparable to Manchester but further developed in ‘platforming’ of contemporary visual arts ‐ Make contacts with similar Umbrella organisations in Holland and Belgium ‐ Develop ideas for future CVAM activities ‐ Experience how other European cities use non‐art spaces for contemporary arts ‐ Foster a group identity within the Manchester arts organisations involved ‐ Witness cross‐institutional contemporary art co‐operation in European cities ‐ Hear from European arts festivals of their working situations with local arts authorities and sites A very successful trip to Liverpool followed when we met up with colleagues from LARC. However, at the end of August our co‐ordinator secured a research post and left. It took until November before a new co‐ordinator was found and planning recommenced for the visioning day and completion of the economic impact research Future agenda includes: Visioning session – We have a visioning day set up with a facilitator to help us work through the following and develop a clear action plan for this year and beyond. • Digital opportunities – how can we exploit them • Profile of contemporary visual arts in the city • Developing the contemporary visual arts ecology in the city • Long Night • Economic Impact Study – this will report soon and we want to maximise the impact of that work.
