What are Open Toolkits?
Open Toolkits are free, open resources created by artists and arts organisations for the purpose of sharing their practices
2025’s cohort of MA Contemporary Art Theory students will each create an Open Toolkit to share with you.
Each Toolkit enables an open way of inhabiting a practice by taking part in it.
An archive and 2023 and 2024’s Open Toolkits is published here.
There are currently 122 Open Toolkits published on this site.

Contemporary Art in the Open
The MA CAT Artists’ Toolkits BarCamp seeks to realise The University of Edinburgh’s commitment to the ideals of UNESCO’s 2002 Forum on Open Courseware:
“The University encourages staff and students to create and publish OERs to enhance the quality of the student experience, increase the provision of learning opportunities for all, and contribute to the global pool of open knowledge.”
