Art for Art's Sake

Women into the Network

Art for Art's Sake offers a series of hands-on arts-related events and activities for women, delivered by WIN and their project partners, Live Theatre, New Writing North, and The Butterfly Project. The programme has been designed to provide a platform for women to develop new skills and networks that can create benefit in business as well as everyday life; but is also a way for more women to simply enjoy and learn more about the arts in an informal and accessible way. Butterfly is delivering The Art of Self Discovery element of the programme. However, if you are interested in any of the other programmes also please contact Jakki Harter at Women in to the Network, email details below.

Art for Art's Sake will launch formally on Friday 23rd October 2009, helping to kick-off this years Durham Book Festival. We would love you to join us for tea and cake and a taster of what's in store in the programme, which will run from November 2009 until March 2010.

There are four main activity paths for women to follow, which are free to WIN members with a nominal charge for non-members:

The Art of Words: Develop your writing skills and learn to enjoy words in a new way, through creative writing workshops, professional readings, playwriting classes and book clubs.

The Art of Expression: Enhance your understanding of the arts through guided theatre, cinema and gallery trips, talks from actors and directors, and basic acting and performance classes.

The Art of Self-Discovery: Delivered by Butterfly. Explore in small groups how well you really know yourself, and develop new skills, confidence, and friendships that can help you achieve what you want to out of life.

The Art of Networking: Increase your confidence and master essential networking and presentation skills that can help in every aspect of life and work, through these interactive workshops.
