Networking Support for Artists
New Work Network (NWN) promotes and supports the development of the new work sector* which includes, but is not limited to: new performance, live and interdisciplinary arts practice.

As an artist-led membership organisation, with widespread UK regional involvement and international representation, NWN focuses on facilitating engagement and collaboration between arts practitioners. It does this by providing access to new ideas and opportunities and through developing networking opportunities and meeting points as spaces for dialogue, collective action and collaboration.

NWN is also an advocacy and lobbying organisation that represents the need of the sector and the people within it. Via the website and live events, it signposts, shares models best practice, maps and archives the new work scene.

*The term ‘New Work’ can be used to cover a wide spectrum of practices that are not solely based within a traditional art form, but which share a sense of experimentation and a ‘blurring’ of art form boundaries. Members of New Work Network are involved with a variety of practices, such as: experimental performance, new media, live art, experimental dance, site specific work, sonic art, moving image, science and art, intervention and socially engaged practices.

New Work Network brings together people who work across art forms so that arts practitioners can share ideas and enrich connections.
