TEG Seminar: Fundraising, September 2009 at The Brindley, Runcorn
Raising funds for exhibitions is challenging at the best of times, and even more so given the current economic climate. This seminar will look at ways of seeking sponsors, raising funds and managing expectations. The event will welcome delegates with an interest in generating and managing exhibitions in all types of venues, including curators, managers, exhibition organisers and those involved in sponsorship and development.
This is the tenth TEG’s programme of seminars, supported by funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. The delegate fee is just £40 for TEG members (£80 non-members). For full programme and booking information, see the Seminars page.

Sarah Champion writes...
I have taken up a new appointment as chief executive of a children's hospice, and it is with much regret that I am stepping down as Chair of TEG. As many of you are aware, I have a great passion for touring, which seems such a logical and cost-effective way to get the maximum exposure for our exhibitions, and to build up partnerships (and friendships) along the way. The original TEG manual (now the Handbook on the website) quite literally taught me how to create a touring exhibition, and attending membership events gave me valuable contacts and showed me best practice. It has therefore been an honour for me to repay the debt by being on the Committee and then by being your Chair for the last five years. I would urge other members to join the committee: it really is rewarding, and TEG needs your skills to take the organisation forward. With kindest regards, Sarah Champion.

Membership Survey Results 2008
Many thanks to all members who took part in TEG's 2008 evaluation survey.  We received a very encouraging level of response from both new and long-term members. The results reveal a strong concensus that TEG provides useful information and services to its members, with more than 81% of respondents rating their subscription as excellent or good value for money.  Access to the website members' area was the highest scoring membership benefit, followed by receiving a free copy of Exchange and a members' discount on seminar delegate fees.  Members who had booked an exhibition found through TEG would overwhelmingly book again through TEG, and 78% of exhibition organisers who had promoted exhibitions through TEG said they would use TEG again. Many members made additional comments and suggestions, which will be very helpful in assisting the Executive Committee's planning of future events and development of TEG's membership services. Members can view a summary of the main findings at the Evaluation webpage.  A statistical results analysis (pdf) is also available.

TEG calls for strategic investment in touring exhibitions
TEG announced today a series of recommendations aimed at improving the provision of touring exhibitions UK-wide.  The recommendations, which stem from the report on the findings of TEG’s two-year national research project, include measures to maximise the potential of touring exhibitions to develop audiences and improve access to collections and call for a more unified collaborative approach by funders and stakeholders to strengthen the touring infrastructure for arts and heritage.  For more details, please see the press release. 

Touring Exhibitions Group

Sharing the skills, knowledge and experience of working with exhibitions.

TEG is the professional group in the UK concerned with all aspects of organising and touring exhibitions. We are an independent membership network of galleries, museums, libraries, art and science centres and other organisations committed to exchanging exhibitions as a means of sharing ideas, materials and resources. We aim to tour exhibitions as widely as possible in order to extend public awareness, knowledge and enjoyment of historical and contemporary culture.

A welcome from the Chair

Welcome to the Touring Exhibitions Group’s website, which was launched in 2005 along with the Handbook. The last few years have been an exciting time for TEG. As well as the website, we have introduced a seminar programme and published a major research project, Mapping the Touring Landscape.

We would really appreciate your feedback on this website, as we intend to keep on developing it to make it as useful as possible. A recent feature for members is the Venue Search designed to complement the original Exhibition Search. Hopefully this will make it quick and straightforward to find venues or an exhibition appropriate to you.

We have been fortunate to have had funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and, as a result of Sarah Champion's excellent leadership, now have a strong foundation from which to move forward in the future. To do so,  we need strong and lively support from our members, and we look forward to welcoming you at this year's Marketplace and at our seminars and events. I would like as ever to thank the continued commitment of Committee members who enable TEG's professional contribution to continue. 

I myself have been involved with TEG for the last eight years, serving in different capacities on the Executive Committee and managing some of its activities. It is a wonderful way to build new contacts with other exhibition professionals and to get an overview of the touring sector, as well as ensuring that what we do as individuals and organisations contributes to good practice across the UK.
