Community: Creativity: Culture: Cooperation
ARLIS/UK & Ireland Conference
University of Liverpool
23 - 25 July 2008
In 2008 Liverpool will celebrate its year as European Capital of Culture. The Capital of Culture Programme highlights the role of culture in the life of a city, encourages cities to innovate in the cultural field and promotes cultural cooperation and understanding.
This year to celebrate Liverpool as Capital of Culture, the ARLIS Conference goes to Liverpool University’s Greenbank Conference Park, opposite the all famous Penny Lane, set within an attractive private landscape close to Sefton Park and less then 15 minutes drive from the city centre.
Liverpool has a host of cultural attractions encompassing impressive internationally recognised architecture, including the Anglican and Metropolitan Cathedrals. It houses more museums and galleries than any other city outside London, including a fine display of modern and contemporary art at the Walker Art Gallery and Tate Liverpool. The city is also rich in maritime history and is home to the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
The ARLIS Conference will host a full programme of activities to reflect Liverpool’s Capital of Culture status in 2008 including:
* An optional city walk on Tuesday 22nd July, joining ARLIS colleagues and friends to explore the architecture of Liverpool’s Albert Dock area.
* A host of challenging speakers who will consider the sustainability of our cultural heritage in a digital age; including Reyahn King, Director of Art Galleries, National Museums Liverpool; Jodie Walz, Director of Digital Collections and Archives, University of Minnesota; Douglas Dodds, Head of Central Services at the Victoria and Albert Museum; and Christopher Breward, Deputy Head of Research at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
* There will be the chance to debate issues of professional concern with colleagues in the breakout sessions, go behind the scenes of Liverpool’s richly stocked libraries and archives including visits to FACT, the Conservation Centre and the Walker Art Gallery. There will also be the opportunity to meet key publishers and suppliers to creative arts libraries and archives in our Library Supplier’s Exhibition.
