The Partnershipping Project was conceived to link regional artists, regional galleries and regional audiences to ask: ‘Does Place Matter’?
The result is an exhibition, curated by Pat Hoffie with associate curator Rosemary Miller, that is redeveloped in each regional location as new artists join. The project has become a series of iterations that explore the effects of ‘globalised’ thinking and the impact on changing relationships to ‘place’.
