The Artist Network Log is launched
Introducing the Artist Network Log - to grow, amplify and connect the region’s visual arts sector.
Committed to supporting the creative visual arts in the region and promoting collaboration, we have released a developing directory that connects artist networks with one another. It will support Yorkshire and the Humber’s cross-network solidarity and collaboration through the sharing of skills, resources, opportunities and conversations.
In the context of the cost of living crisis, Covid-19 and public cuts to the arts sector, there is an urgency to amplify artist-led assets, build solidarity and connect conversations.
The Artist Network Log includes artist-led collectives, groups, co-ops, self-organised workspaces and studios, grassroots and small organisations – and everything in-between.
The list currently profiles networks with the following; about, location/nomadic, nature of activity, discipline, website, lead email. This log doesn’t currently map the reach of each of the networks but it is something we are looking into to create a better picture of how networks spread and what other parts of the region and further afield they connect to.
We know networks can be messy and fun – we feel, map and grow with and into them, something we look forward to developing with your networks.
Please email info@yvan.org.uk with any changes we may have missed or to opt-out.

At the moment we're not able to add commercial businesses or individual artists to the log. We've decided to focus mainly on groups of artists or studios/galleries/networks that are at least 5 people or over, they tend to be cooperatives, non profits, charities or community interest companies.
