This course provides dedicated studio communities and facilities for painting, sculpture, and performance and digital practices, guided by experienced artists. Students explore and define their specialisms through tutorials, seminars, workshops, and critiques, while engaging with broader social, political, cultural, environmental, and technological contexts. In purpose-built studios, participants develop a strong artistic identity via interdisciplinary approaches, emphasizing technical skills, critical thinking, and creative strategies. Opportunities for collaboration, exhibitions, and visits to institutions like Leeds Art Gallery and the Venice Biennale help build professional networks and lifelong connections.The program progresses over three years: Year one focuses on community building, experimentation, and critical thinking through introductory workshops. Year two advances specialized practice with targeted teaching and exhibition strategies. Year three consolidates positioned work, extending networks and preparing proposals for local, national, and international projects, culminating in a public exhibition.
