Partnerships, Events, British Council

19 January 2009

It has been an eventful week and I have made contact with potential partners.

I met with Stephen Antram, General Manager from Sofitel in Chongqing and we discussed a possible partnership developing contemporary exhibitions with 501 and Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. A meeting has been arranged for February with myself, Yan Yan, Director of 501 and the Chairman, Art Education from the Institute.

The highlights this week were the British Council launch and reception with, Mr Matthew Davidson,Chief Executive of BC, first ever visit to Chongqing. He gave a speech on British Council and developing Cultural Parnterships. A special dinner reception took place on the boat with beautiful views and important guests. It was well organised by Director of British Council, Chongqing, Sarah Deverall and her team.

I hope to pursue some partnerships with the contacts I made, many people I met had heard of 501 and not visited.
