Walton on the Naze 2025년 8월 인기 이벤트

Thurs 7 Aug  |  6-8PM
In collaboration with The Nose @nosenaze 28 Newgate Street, Walton on the Naze, CO14 8AL 
Join us for an evening exploring the power and politics of alternative art education as part of the mini book launch tour of 
How to set up an art school
. 
Emma Edmondson and Ames Pennington will host a workshop come conversation, looking at the themes of the book and asking what makes a bad art school, what makes a good one and how shared experiences can build a utopian space for creative learning together.
How to Set Up an Art School
 serves as a guide for artists looking to establish alternative art schools and those interested in the current state of contemporary art education. This event will act as a launch for the publication through some conversation, making and games to invite people in to imagine their own art schools.
Emma Edmondson and Ames Pennington have been involved in alternative art education for nearly a decade - Ames created illustrations for the publication and Emma contributed two essays and curated the book. This event will be a chance to explore the book deeper and all are welcome to join - whether you’re interested in art education, DIY practice, playful making or artist-run spaces!
How to Set Up an Art School
 will be available to get on the night at the event, online and from stockists around the UK.

About the book:
New Book 
How to Set Up an Art School
 Explores the Power and Politics of Alternative Art Education
How to Set Up an Art School 
is a collection of essays, activities, illustrations and reflections, curated by Emma Edmondson, founder of The Other MA (TOMA). The book provides invaluable insights for artists seeking to establish alternative art schools and learning spaces, blending practical guidance with critical inquiry into the politics of creative education. Emerging from a climate of austerity, the book cites the founding of TOMA as an act of resistance against the dismantling of public creative education in the UK. It examines how the personal is inherently political, shedding light on the shared yet isolating experiences of artists navigating neoliberal structures. Tracing TOMA’s evolution from an experimental, process-driven studio initiative to a thriving artist-led educational platform, the book underscores the role of education as both an artistic medium and a form of activism. It encourages artists to envision themselves beyond the constraints of the traditional art market, embracing alternative modes of art-making as strategies for creative survival within capitalism. Key features include a detailed map of alternative art schools across the UK and documentation of collaborative dialogues where these schools reflect on their structures, successes, failures, and the potential for a collective support network. The book critically interrogates TOMA’s mission to support artists who face barriers to formal art education, questioning how these values translate into practice. Rooted in nearly a decade of activity, this publication has grown from conversations within, around, and beyond TOMA. It brings together contributions from and conversations featuring many voices – some whispered, some shouted, some credited, and some anonymous – the book includes contributions from
