Council for Higher Education in Art and Design 2019 Conference 27th & 28th March 2019 Sheffield www.chead.ac.uk #CHEAD2019 01 WELCOME

PROFESSOR ANITA TAYLOR, CHAIR

On behalf of the Council for Higher Education in Art and Design (CHEAD) I would like to welcome you to our 2019 Annual Conference, which promises to be an exciting programme that will explore how we can develop a more coherent voice in articulating the value of art and design. This conference, in March 2019, comes at a pivotal point for art and design. The theme ‘Unbounded: The Agency of Art and Design’ emerged from discussions which started almost immediately after the conclusion of the 2018 Annual Conference in Cardiff. These discussions focussed on the value of an arts education, and how art and design education encourages people to explore, to experiment, to question. Despite the economic success of the UK creative industries totalling £101.5bn a year, we are challenged in our ability to influence policy that directly affects our sector and internally within our institutions to advocate for the creative subjects. This conference seeks to celebrate the agency of art and design and aims to provide a compelling forum to ensure that we are emboldened to engage with new opportunities and contexts, and to do so with increased confidence in our own value, agency and power.

I would like to thank those at our host institution Sheffield Hallam University. We all look forward to stimulating presentations and in-depth discussion at the conference, and we look forward to seeing you there. 02 SPONSOR STATEMENT

As an acknowledged leader in the field of research and information about contemporary visual art, a-n provides tutors and lecturers with practical resources about the art world and job market. We support student learning and employability in the visual arts, equipping students with the kinds of information and advice they need to navigate the transition from education to professional practice as artists, alongside opportunities to build their networks.
