Q-Art was set up to:
-provide a place for graduates to discuss work post- art school
-break down boundaries between courses/ colleges/ and levels of study
-allow those who have not studied for a degree in art to join in on a similar discussion to that in art schools
– to allow networking
-a democratic space where those who present get a show – away from ‘who you know’ politics
Q-Art London launched in November 2008 as a forum for critical exchange, networking and peer-review for visual art and visual culture students and graduates from across London's major art schools. A potential "autonomous art school" in the making, Q-Art London has been holding monthly convenors across London's major art universities, inviting students to present and discuss work in a critical, peer-led environment.
