March 2009 From Wales to Washington: Welsh Arts Critics’ Exchange ProgrammeA Visiting Arts programme run in partnership with Wales Arts International and British Council, and supported as part of Wales activities in Washington, DC by the Welsh Assembly Government This exciting programme will bring together writers and journalists from Wales with their counterparts in Washington, DC. Designed to develop coverage and critical discussion of Welsh arts, the intensive workshops will develop participants’ critical abilities and result in increased coverage and critical discussion in print, broadcast and new media of the arts in Wales. The starting point for this would be coverage of Welsh activity in Washington, DC. The programme will also encompass bilingualism and provide new opportunities for international discussion on art forms in Wales, whilst developing relationships between the media in Wales and North America. During the programme, time will be spent in both Wales and Washington, DC, with participants attending writing workshops, visiting galleries and attending a variety of performances. They will write reviews, discuss their work together and explore the role of the art critic. The course will be led by Linda Christmas, a former arts journalist and experienced teacher of journalism. Established arts critics on both sides of the Atlantic will tutor the workshops. Alison MacAdam, a Washington, DC participant who attended the Arts Critics’ Exchange Programme between Northern Ireland and Washington DC in 2007, benefited greatly from her experience on this course: “I have heard of no other [exchange] programs for young and aspiring critics, and this course has given me the courage and tools to pursue criticism.” Please click here for announcement and application form Closing date for applications is: 20 April 2009 at 12 noon GMT
