ARTISTS
Art School Plus trains and supports the culture sector and artists to develop unique art projects.

We are the bridge between artists and projects, supporting the cultural sector and artists with the skills and knowledge to develop mutually beneficial relationships in distinctive contexts.

We are motivated in this work because we want to champion the role of the artist within a wider social context, as well as support a true diversity of voices and perspectives to feel empowered to develop work and projects.

“Art School Plus are doing two crucial jobs. The first is to allow people to realise that making art to live with is more important than making art to be sold, the second is evolving the support that will help that art be made.”

How we worked in partnership with Art School Plus to select an artist for a commission

"Public art can be transformational for cities. However, public commissioning can also sometimes be vague, last-minute, process-driven and disconnected from the communities it seeks to engage.

There is no single set of best practice guidelines in place for public realm commissioning and artists are rarely given proper training in how to approach public realm opportunities- and this is where Art School Plus stepped in."

'Art School Plus were great to work with. They matched our brief to a fantastic artist and produced something really special for Camden.'
