Week 14: Final Scheduling

Due to the outdoor nature of the public engagement events the exhibition will be taking place in the summer. I have selected Saturday 20^th of June 2026 – Saturday 4^st of July 2026. The timings are arranged to be feasible, with the assumption that the artists and I would be handling additional work alongside curatorial and artistic practices.

September 2025 – Application for funding – 3 months will be allocated to hear back re grants and complete the logistic implications of receiving the money.

January 6^th– 12^th 2026 – Observing the publicly accessible availability of the Strange Field warehouse space, I believe that I would need to propose an exhibition 6 months before the expected exhibition date. Time is allocated to receive conformation from organisers.

January 26^th – February 2^nd – Contacting Artists: I expect to ascertain whether artists will be available and willing to take part in the exhibition early in the arrangement process. If individuals are not willing, I will have time to search for a replacement.

February 9^th – March 2^nd – Initial group meeting with the artists. This has been allocated a broad period of time – if all original artists are available then this would be able to happen sooner, but if I have to recalibrate the gallery setup additional time will be needed. This will be a session to discuss the relationship between the artists and ascertain if there are any specific requirements that individuals need in terms of themselves, and their art.

March 3^rd – March 8^th – Design – having confirmed the themes and artwork involved in the exhibition I will be able to begin drafting promotional materials and formatting layout for the gallery publication .

March 9^th – 23^rd – Follow up meetings – Each artist will be met with individually to further discuss the progression of the exhibition, and any other necessary information that may be needed. At this point I would start asking for artwork descriptions that could be published in the gallery guide.

April 1^st – Deadline for artists to submit piece information.

May 4^th – 11^th May – Promotional design.

May 11^th – Consultation session with accessibility experts on exhibition layout, and writing pieces.

May 12^th – 18^th– Make amendments to exhibition design, promotional design, and written text.

May 19^th – Send publication and promotions to Riso print.

May 20^th – Begin process of hiring technicians for construction and installation.

May 21^st – Book equipment from ECA.

May 22^nd – Artists who need to, post their work.

Conclusion

These affordances will be considered in creating an official timeline that will be developed in the PDF speculative proposal, additionally with these considerations a public facing list of major events can be developed.
