This September we will be launching the first Chelsea, Camberwell and Wimbledon Short Courses Exhibition alongside the Chelsea MA Summer Show 2019.
The exhibition celebrates the ways in which short courses contribute to an individual’s personal and professional progress.
Exhibition dates: 6 – 12 September 2019
The curation of the exhibition will be led by our short course tutor - Kirsten Cooke in response to concepts and designs produced by the August 2019 Curating Contemporary Art short course students. The selected works aim to inspire you to challenge what you know to build your creative future.
Our selection panel met yesterday to discuss these submissions. Artworks will be chosen in relation to the theme outlined in the submission brief.
