A new interactive distance learning package on contemporary visual arts practice is to be created for students and tutors in higher education.
£75,000 has been awarded from the New Opportunities Fund to create the package, which will provide information on visual artists, selected works, and the processes involved in their making. It will also give information about management and marketing processes, sponsorship, commissioning and other concerns relating to the professional and social context of contemporary visual art. Axis has also received £300,000 development funding from the Arts Council of England, with which it will be developing its network of satellite computer terminals.
