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 a-n The Artists Information Company We are delighted to be sponsoring the CHEAD Annual Conference 2019. a-n is the largest artists’ membership organisation in the UK with over 23,000 members.
