This weekend I visited Tate St Ives to attend the first Tate Collective meeting of the new year. I have been looking forward to attending my first meeting to see what being a part of the Collective involved. Considering that the Tate is offering such a great opportunity for young people to get involved with the gallery I was surprised to find that only 6 people in total attended the meeting; even more so because we were all new members! We looked around the current exhibition and had a chance to discuss the work as a group, and brainstorm possible ideas to develop for the next Young@Tate event in March. We have also planned to screen a couple of short films in relation to the exhibition in the next meeting, as well as the potential to visit other galleries and set up events.
Another opportunity that the Tate are offering is Peer Leader training; a two day course to learn about the running of the gallery and be trained to work alongside other employees in the running of events and coordinating of activities. The next course is running in February and I hope to attend as I could gain some valuable work experience in the arts industry. I am grateful for these regular meetings, it gives us a chance to get away from Falmouth for a little while and look at other places around Cornwall, as well as talking to like-minded people that I might not get the chance to talk to otherwise.
