The International Village Shop (IVS) has been shaped as a collective idea and initiative by four partners since 2004:
- Artists and Architects collective public works (London, UK)
- Arts Organisation Grizedale Arts, Lawson Park (Cumbria, UK)
- Artists group Somewhere (Cumbria, UK and London, UK)
- Artist initiative myvillages.org (Rotterdam, NL)
The IVS is a shared public platform to develop, produce and exchange cultural produce. It involves individuals and organisations from different cultural backgrounds and addresses a variety of audiences, from local non-art to international art audiences.
