Art Means Business: How Culture Can Change the World

Lumiere Durham 2013

Friday 15 November, 9am – 4pm. Gala Theatre, Durham. 

Supported by the Loeb Fellowship Alumni Association.

A one-day conference discussing how the creative industries can offer innovative solutions to intractable problems, re-imaging the city of 21st century. Speakers included visionaries and policymakers from the worlds of the arts and urban planning, local government and business. The conference discussed themes of trade, economic impact, sustainability, transport and housing –topics not normally associated with the arts.

This fascinating day left participants with a wealth of new ideas and ways of thinking about how our cities are designed and managed.
