KINections - Emerging Rural Artists

KINections - An exhibition of multi-media works by emerging rural artists

KINections is a project supporting professional development for rurally based emerging artists based in Devon and Cornwall.

Supported by Arts Council England, in partnership with:

The Fenton Trust

The Plough Arts Centre

The Fish Factory 

Contemporary Artist Membership Platform (SouthWest)

Low Profile

Artizan

The exhibition features work by 16 artists who are in the early stages of their career/development (this includes graduates within 6 years of graduation, those returning to making art after a break, and those whose development has been hampered by life circumstances or lack of resources). All of the artists are living/working in places outside of main urban centres; with a lack of public and cultural infrastructure; or open countryside/coastal areas.

KIN explores the connections, hidden or visable, that exist between individuals working in creative community despite geographical seperations. It highlights the discovered elements of connection within the group, which weave together to form a unique creative community, manifested in an array of media. 

All welcome.
