One of Artquest's roles is to establish and collaborate with networks that provide advice and information services to visual artists and craftspeople. Through our network memberships, we can disseminate Artquest events and projects, be inspired by the work of others and collaborate on useful and interesting programmes for practitioners.
Artquest is a member of the following networks and organisations:
