Artist Teachers Exhibition

Art teachers in the region are showing their own art skills in a display at The New Art Gallery Walsall. The exhibition shows work in progress from The Artist Teacher Scheme course.

All the artists studied contemporary art at The New Art Gallery Walsall, Ikon and Birmingham City University alongside established artists over the last 12 months to inform the development of their own work as artists. Whilst working in education throughout mainly the West Midlands the group have come together to explore exhibitions such as FOUND and Martin Parr and meet other artists working in the region to question contemporary art and continue to further develop their own work.

Work on display includes an embroidered dress with imagery about motherhood, short films about dystopia and drawings that are ‘anti-selfies’. The exhibition will feature work by artists Lulu Badr, Ros Corser, Sam Dennis, Debbie Jones, Thea Kelly, Nicola Price, Laura Reid, Elizabeth Shepherd, Tina Sylvester and Rachael Wayne.
