Welcome

Transmettre/Transmit is a collaboration between Dover Arts Development (DAD) and Espace 36, Association d'Art Contemporain, Saint-Omer. Four UK artists and four French artists will be working with heritage sites in Saint-Omer in 2007 and in Dover in 2008. The sites' significance as places of learning, history and heritage is reflected in the work of the eight artists.

The key objectives of Transmettre/Transmit are to create a dialogue between the artists, to share curatorial practice and knowledge, provide exposure to contemporary visual arts for residents and visitors in each region, to raise audience awareness/appreciation of the participating heritage sites and to instil a broader understanding of each region for artists, curators and audience.
