Pablo speaks at the State of the Arts Conference.

State of the Art is a dynamic gathering designed to empower emerging artists and offer valuable insights into the art industry. Featuring panels of esteemed curators, funding experts, and rising artists, our event delves deep into curatorial practices, funding opportunities, and the future of contemporary art.

On Saturday 31st August 2024 Disconnected Bodies’ Founder Pablo Colella was invited to host an arts funding workshop: Funding Your Creative Practice or Project to a sell out audience of 300.

Such was the overwhelmingly positive feedback received Pablo will be hosting a second workshop on Sunday 29th September at Art Otel Hoxton. Details to follow.

The State of the Art conference is run by Art Meets Culture who specialise in curating innovative art-focused experiences and forging authentic brand partnerships. www.artmeetsculture.com
