About this event

This exhibition brings together five artists selected to take part in the national Artists Access to Art Colleges (AA2A) artist residency scheme in the School of Design and Creative Arts at º£½ÇÉçÇø University. The work on display showcases a selection of their diverse projects ongoing since October 2024. The artists include Jessica Mason, Theo Miller, Andrew North, Jamie Seymour and Ruby Waage Townsend.

During their time at º£½ÇÉçÇø, Jessica, Theo, Andrew, Jamie, and Ruby have worked in a variety of settings and interacted with a range of practitioners and researchers. They have collaboratively designed this exhibition, as part of a process of reflection on the work they have produced and where it might lead them.

AA2A (Artists Access to Art Colleges) provides artists and designer-makers with access to workshops, equipment and expertise in host universities and colleges across the UK, offering them the opportunity to develop their work by undertaking a period of research or realising a project. It also aims to benefit students by supporting interaction with practising artists and providing them with information on self-employment, bridging the gap between studying and building a creative career. It is funded by Arts Council England and the host institutions.

Lboro Lates

There will be a special late night opening on Friday 23 May from 6pm-9pm as part of Lboro Lates. This event invites residents and visitors to the local area to explore º£½ÇÉçÇø's thriving cultural scene with a variety of events taking place across the town.
