Hart School is a 3 month alternative art school that will take place at Hart Club this Summer, designed to be free, inclusive and accessible.

This opportunity is open to adults of all ages and prioritises those who are typically excluded from similar opportunities due to financial barriers and lack of specialised support for disabled artists.

Hart School is an intensive summer school where students and teachers work in a radically inclusive, non-hierarchical, collaborative learning environment that supports participants to develop confidence in their creative practice.

We will provide highly specialised and supported learning with a ratio of one facilitator per two learners. With a superstar team of educators and industry professionals, students will be guided through demonstrations, talks, studio visits and weekly meetings with an Art Therapist.

This is art school - with a difference! One that focuses on enabling and empowering some of the most creative but marginalised people in our society.

What we'll deliver:

6 free scholarships to 3 month programme of intensive Arts learning

Month-long public exhibition of works made during the course

Public art piece including billboard & window display on Westminster Bridge Road

Art book featuring works & learnings from Hart School

Documentary film about the project
Year long legacy programme for alumni including mentorship in chosen field

Limited edition art works

Development of creative community

Develop ability of Hart Club to provide ongoing educational support to local community

We have until May 11th to reach our final target.

OUR CURRENT OUTREACH PROJECT:

Folk Beasts is a collaboration between Hart Club and The Golden Thread Project, exploring the magical and diverse creatures celebrated via folklore throughout time.^{Initially conceived as a extensive group exhibition created via artist-led workshops, the current global pause has led us to adapt the concept.

We have invited 17 artists and illustrators to create make-at-home Art Packs, enabling people to participate remotely to create a user-generated online art exhibition that will launch in Spring 2021.

We have combined The Golden Thread Project’s extensive knowledge and love for all things folklore with Hart Club’s diverse audience to create a magical world full of freshly conceived and reimagined folk beasts.}

We have created 100 copies of each pack. That’s 1700 free art packs in total to be distributed amongst our network - this includes people of all ages and backgrounds and artists with disabilities, dementia, brain injury, autism and other neurological variations.

If you work with a charity, outreach project or know someone in particular who would benefit from receiving a free art pack in the post please get in touch: folkbeasts@gmail.com

^{Please note: The range in recipient’s accessibility needs has been taken into consideration when creating these packs, though some people are likely to need support to complete these projects.}
