Curatorial Policy

VIVID’s curatorial policy is to increase audience access to both emergent talent and work of international significance - this ethos lies at the heart of our programme. In order to achieve this aim, we work directly with artists to produce, exhibit and distribute their work. As both producer and curator, VIVID has worked in partnership with galleries and agencies across the UK and internationally on European wide artist residencies, touring exhibitions and publications. We seek to support artists and audiences equally.
