Triangle Arts Trust
Triangle Arts Trust (TAT) is an international arts organization that brings together artists from different countries to explore new ideas and expand the boundaries of their practice. They use a Workshop Model to provide an uninterrupted period of two weeks where 20–25 artists from diverse cultural backgrounds engage with each other to explore new ideas and expand the boundaries of their practice, and sponsor Residencies, which last up to three months and provide a longer term exchange. Half of the workshop participating artists are from the host country, giving it a strong local base, while the remainder are international.
TAT is registered as a charitable organization in the UK.[1]
History
TAT was established in 1982 by Robert Loder and Anthony Caro, and is organised as a network of artists, visual art organisations, and artists-led workshops. It currently is active in over 30 countries. Each centre within the Network is independent and set up to respond to local needs. The object of the workshops is "to counterbalance the tendency of the Western art world to put the emphasis on the object and its marketing rather than on the creative process itself". [2]
The Arts Council of England contributes to the funding of the TAT.[1]
David Loder was appointed to Chair the Board, succeeding Robert Loder who retired in 2009. Loder will remain a Trustee of the organization.[3]
