Second ARTerial Network Conference
Courtesy of ARTerialnetwork.org

The second conference of the ARTerial Network will be held from 20-22 September in Johannesburg. More than 200 applications were received to participate at this second conference of the ARTerial Network and about 70 delegates are expected to represent all the regions of the continent.

The theme of the conference is “Advancing the rights and status of African artists through the Nairobi Plan of Action on Cultural Industries”.

The Nairobi Plan has been adopted by the African Union and African Ministers of Culture and it represents an opportunity for civil society organisations to promote their interests and better conditions for artists working and living in African countries. 

The dates of the ARTerial Network conference coincide with the World Summit on Arts and Culture to be held in Johannesburg from 22 to 25 September 2009, which will be very convenient for the delegates who would like to attend the Summit.

For more information or to apply to attend the second ARTerial Network conference please send your CV to Margerie Vacle: margerie@arterialnetwork.org .
