Join Q-Art to celebrate the launch of its latest publication Professional Practice: 20 Questions at Hauser & Wirth, London, Friday 18 November, 6-8pm. Speeches 7pm.
Professional Practice: 20 Questions includes interviews with UK undergraduate fine art staff exploring how students are prepared for life after art school.
Interviews collected and edited by Jo Allen and Sarah Rowles.
Professional practice is a contested area. Quite how fine art courses prepare their students for exit, and what they are preparing them for, has long been a matter of tension and debate. And this debate has intensified amidst the current climate of rising tuition fees, reduced maintenance grants, and an increased government emphasis on employability.
In Professional Practice : 20 Questions Q-Art asks undergraduate fine art staff from around the UK to unpack this topic and share examples of their own approaches and philosophies to preparing students for life after art school.
Book Price: £15 Exclusive Launch Price: £10
