FIND MY ECOSYSTEMNICE TO MEET YOU
Julia Kotziamani
I founded Nimble Art School (formally Hastings Art School) because I know how hard it is to make waves in your art practice around a busy modern life. I struggled to find time to engage fully with my art practice around work, children and always felt a sense of imposter system.
Whilst studying for my MFA at Goldsmiths I experienced many barriers facing artists who live and work outside of London who do not have the privilege of wealth or formal qualifications. I knew there was a better way to support artists and build a nurturing network to help them navigate their development and the industry.
