Get in touch with Art+Archaeology

Art+Archaeology organises art residencies, exhibitions, lectures, workshops and events, researching and enhancing the connections between artistic and archaeological practice. Enquiries about projects, exhibitions and events can be sent to the project coordinator below.

Art+Archaeology is an organisation dedicated to exploring the connections between artistic and archaeological practice. Rather than treating the two fields as separate worlds, it brings them into conversation through residencies, exhibitions, lectures, workshops and events. The underlying idea is simple and generous: that contemporary artists and archaeologists ask overlapping questions about place, material, memory and time, and that working side by side can deepen the understanding of both. Everything the organisation does is framed by that research-minded aim.

Enquiries about projects, exhibitions and events are welcomed by the project coordination team, and the organisation's contact pages make it straightforward to reach the right person. Whether you are an artist interested in a residency, a curator with an exhibition idea, a student hoping to attend a lecture or workshop, or a visitor planning to come to an event, there is a route to begin the conversation. Clear, friendly communication is part of the organisation's character, and responses are shaped around what each enquirer needs.

The wider programme extends well beyond the page of a single event. Sites such as museums, priories, historic gardens and other places of cultural significance provide the settings for much of the work, linking contemporary practice with landscapes and collections that already carry layers of archaeological and artistic interest. Contributors from the worlds of art and archaeology, including artist and researcher roles, are brought together around shared sites and subjects, and their outcomes are often shared through publications that keep the conversation continuing after the exhibition has closed.

Attending a public event is one of the most accessible ways to encounter the organisation's work. Lectures, workshops and exhibitions are opened up to audiences so that the ideas being researched can circulate beyond specialists, and the tone of these gatherings is informal and inviting rather than academic or closed. A residency may place an artist in sustained contact with a particular place and its material past; an exhibition may draw together objects, photographs and archaeological interpretation; a workshop may invite participants to try a technique for themselves. Each offers a different way into the same central theme.
