So what is Q-Art?

Q-Art currently borrows from main format of teaching used in most art schools, the ‘crit’. It invites students, graduates of all levels/ courses and anyone at all with an interest in art to take part. We hold crits, known as ‘convenors’, once a month and they take place in a different London university every time. So far for example they have been held in Goldsmiths, Slade, Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Art, Wimbledon College of Art and soon Camberwell and London Met.

Convenors are 3 hours long and 6 people present work for discussion at each; each person having about 20 mins to do so. Application to present is totally all inclusive and made on a first-come first-served basis. And the end of the academic year we have a show for all those who presented throughout the year. Last year this was called ‘Q-Art Presents..’ and was held at the APT Gallery. a-n featured this:

We also hold panel discussions and go on monthly gallery visits. Our last panel was chaired by Julian Stallabras.

In 1 year we got over 1500 members from word of mouth alone.

Why was Q-Art set up?

What’s next?

I’ll write this tomorrow.
