WHILE OUR GALLERIES WERE CLOSED LUNCHTIME SCHOOL CONTINUED ONLINE

Fri 5 Jun The Art Schools of Britain, with Matthew Cornford
There were over 150 art schools in this country in the mid-1960s. Most of them are now closed or and the buildings repurposed or demolished. John Beck and Matthew Cornford are photographing all of England’s art school sites as they are today. For this talk Matthew Cornford will present their work in progress and discuss ambitions to complete a survey of all the former art schools in the south west.

OUR GALLERIES ARE NOW CLOSED
Following advice from the Government, both our venues are closed as a temporary measure. We are working on plans to deliver alternative programmes during this temporary period of closure, through our website, our social media channels and non-digital means. Join our mailing list to find out more.
While we are closed to the public we are determined to continue supporting the artists, creative sector and the people of our community.
