CHANGING TRACKS will commission contemporary visual/digital artists from the participating countries of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain to create innovative new artworks that explore and respond to the shared European economic and cultural theme of former railway lines, from their original purpose and revolutionary impact on Europe’s natural and economic landscape and its citizens, to their current form, function and association with domestic tourism and healthy lifestyles. The artists, of national / international calibre, will each deliver an artwork concept that responds to the identified common European themes, which will then be produced through artist-led workshops, talks, seminars or related activity in conjunction with local community groups, students and/or participants from each Partner region, creating nine new site-specific contemporary visual/ digital artworks. The artworks will be located primarily in accessible outdoor rural settings on identified former railway lines and are aimed at increasing public access to art among existing walking, running, cycling and other outdoor recreational groups and heritage audiences. Access to all artworks will be free.The artworks will be supported at location and online through appropriate printed and digital information that relates to the artwork and the aims of the CHANGING TRACKS project in addition to artist-led walks / talks, VIP / stakeholder events and local / national media coverage.Highly experienced project managers will support the artists and the delivery of artworks in each Partner location, in addition to coordinating local/national marketing and communications, project monitoring and evaluation. As part of the evaluation and dissemination process a series of three seminars will also be held in each participating Partner region aimed at reviewing what the project has achieved and disseminating associated learning among creative and cultural professionals and students.
