Infest: International Artist Run Culture

description

InFest was held in 2004 and was one of the largest gatherings in Canada of representatives from Artist Run Centres around the world. Spanning five days, it included discussion forums, exhibitions, a networking session, Artist Run Centre presentations, public education programs, and an assortment of social events. The focus was on exchanging ideas and strategies to advance artist run culture, generating a sense of community that transcended national borders, and encouraging international collaborations. The goal of InFest was to strengthen the presence of Artist Run Centres within the cultural ecology and public imagination on both local and global levels.
