Writing Art - Tuesday Mornings (Online)

This eight-week course explores the close relationship between art and writing, reflecting on how text shapes our understanding of visual art, and how art can inspire and inform the written text.

Term 1 - Hurstpierpoint - Tuesdays - 6pm

It is our belief that all communities are thriving creative communities, and we are so excited to be launching our first cohort outside of a large urban area. Join Nimble director and founder Julia Kotziamani in the beautiful village of Hurtspierpoint to explore and engage with other local artists in the rural mid-Sussex district. You will be given opportunities to engage locally and with our Brighton-based groups for exhibitions and networking events. Shake up your practice and connect with others in the area, this is for you if you worry that great arts education and discourse is only available in metropolitan areas...not when you are Nimble!

Term 1 - Online - Saturdays - 11am

Our online groups have proved a great way for people to connect and learn wherever they are in the world or with their practice. A great option for you if there is no group close to you, if feel more comfortable learning online from home/studio, or if you want a really diverse range of perspectives and ideas.  Join us from home, cafe, or wherever you are on a Saturday morning via Zoom and find your ecosystem of support for your artistic practice. You get absolutely everything that the in-person crews get, and we have tailored these digital cohorts so they are the same great experience!

£295.00 GBP
