Ian Banks is a Network Associate of Axisweb, an independent charity committed to providing a platform to support artists and profile what they do. The Axisweb programme comprises a range of activities:

• Reflecting the artists’ voice is integral to emerging developments in contemporary art, across assorted contexts. It presents new aspects and forms of artistic expression to local, national and international audiences.
• Supporting artists:  insurance, networks, space, opportunities, R&D awards, profiling, advice, mentoring – enabling artists to be artists. Artists blur the boundaries and Axisweb adapts and changes with their evolution, seeking to provide the best support it can.
