Grad Race

About

Aiming to provide a platform for emerging artists as they navigate one of the hardest points in their careers, this exhibition demonstrates a range of exciting talent in a variety of mediums, containing themes of politics, domestic abuse, gender, social media, grief and the body. Sometimes playful, sometimes deadly serious, the artists talk about the world we have come from and the world we are entering.

Graduating in unprecedented times, these artists explore new territory using innovative techniques, materials and visual language. They engage the audience by looking at wider themes often from a subjective point of view and challenge us to look at ourselves and the world we inhabit.

ALSO INCLUDES: In Conversation and Q&A with Atsuhide Ito and Richard Waring: “Can artists save the world and can art schools help them do it?" As part of Bridport Art Centre’s current exhibition Grad Race, artists and teachers Atsuhide Ito of Solent University in Southampton and Richard Waring of Arts University Bournemouth will lead a dialogue with students and members of the audience about all things art school.

Join us in the Allsop Gallery at Bridport Art Centre at 6.30pm, Friday 24th March. Refreshments will be available at the bar from 6pm. Please see website for more details: www.bridport-arts.com/event/grad-race-in-conversation/
