TONIGHT at 7pm, @MetalLiverpool host the premiere of Pierce Starre’s Scrutiny on Instagram Live

Scrutiny explores inequality within Pierce’s own lived experience. The work combines symbolism of regality with the reality of domestic life and poverty

The National Library of Argentina is the last known whereabouts of the infamous Book of Sand – a book about a book that can never be finished. Forty-five years later, artists Grace Collins & George Gibson are recreating this magical text.

REVIEW: Liverpool Biennial 2021

“Liverpool @Biennial 2021 confronts us with our history, and in doing that challenges it’s audiences to shift the present – to be more familiar with its identity, and to fix its problems.”

[Independents Biennial @IndyBiennial]

We’ve been working with @ArtistsUnionE this year to help them shape the future of their support for artists. We need your help.

A survey on income levels & work models for artists closed on Friday, with the report analysis to be discussed at the end of the festival with AUE.

@MsLaura_Brown @Joanne4Mayor @Yip4Mayor 😂 I don’t need reminding. But yeah, for all the complications the building gave us, it gave more back

[Patrick Kirk-Smith @PKirkSmith]

@MsLaura_Brown @Joanne4Mayor @Yip4Mayor Saying that... I couldn’t vote for Mayor because I live 200yds past the boundary. Sigh.

[Patrick Kirk-Smith @PKirkSmith]

@MsLaura_Brown I hope @Joanne4Mayor listens to @Yip4Mayor on the call for empty city centre space to be used for culture, independents & not for profit. The same way we shared GHL/Rapid in 2018. Both were good candidates, but Yip’s understanding of the future of city centre was clearer

[Independents Biennial @IndyBiennial]

Whatever short minute you have today, sign this. The deadline is tonight and the future of arts education relies on our voices now. Sign by MIDNIGHT tonight.

[Art In Liverpool @artinliverpool]

This is URGENT. Sign this by midnight TONIGHT. It deserves you time. The government cannot be allowed to slide these drastic cuts to the arts through ✍️🙏
