Call To Artists
Maynard Leigh Gallery
"As artists today negotiate the pragmatics of making and showing work, and as they attempt to balance a desire to be experimental and take risks with the need to make a living and develop a profile, successful collaborative relationships with a variety of organisations can often help shift their practice to another level.
Functioning as passageways, breathing spaces or springboards, these relationships work best when centered around a notion of trust and realised in a spirit of generosity.” Rohini Malik Okon, Artists Newsletter : Collaborative Relationships, May 2005
