HUMAN
14-19 August 2018
Private View: Thursday 16 August 6-9pm

Human - What makes us who we are and what distinguishes us from other living organisms? One way of examining this is to consider the different and natural ways that we think, feel and act regardless of cultural context.

The artists have explored the diverse elements of human identity,  consciousness, spirituality, physicality, emotion and behaviour and have interpreted them using their own vision, understanding, feeling and experience.

Come and see the results of their exploration in a variety of media.

Edge of Ordinary 7

Private View: Thursday 6 September 6-10 pm

This exhibition recognises the redrawing of artists ambitions , as older artistic goals are dismissed and new works realised. The artworks presented reflect the quest of the artists in searching the unknown and redefining and recontextualising it in response to the contemporary. The attention of the audience is invited via this exhibition which opens up new areas and objects of examination including installation, and 2D works.

Final Exhibition of Morley Fine Art Mentoring Students
26-30 September 2018
Private View: Tuesday 25 September 6-8pm

This is the final exhibition of 11 students who have been studying together for 12 months at Morley College on the Fine Art mentoring course led by Erika Winstone. This advanced practical fine art course aims to strengthen independence and form a bridge between inside and outside college through a year of mentoring. Students work in their own studios and bring in work for tutorials, group discussions, workshops, artist talks and seminars; developing their practice as artists.

It is taught for up to 4 Sundays per term, culminating in a final exhibition that is organised and funded by the students in an independent gallery in September 2018.
The course aims to build a stimulating and supportive peer group, introducing skills to enable learners to continue working together on collaborative projects from home using simple online forums. The course is taught by artist Erika Winstone who has taught higher education for over 30 years with a team of visiting contemporary artists including Mark Dean, Justin Hibbs, Rosalind Davis, Sara Knowland, Jane Eyton, Susan Sluglett .

The 11 emerging artists who will be exhibiting are:

Lynne Cameron, Oli Epp, Joy Hillyer, Caroline Ingham, Laura Jacobs,
Kulbinder Johal, Gill Lucas, Octavia Milner, Stuart Ridley,
Joao Simoes-Brown, Simone Thomas, Sophie Wijesuriya.

(In)visible
9-14 October 2018
Private View: Thursday 11 October 6-9pm

Taking place between 9th & 14th of October to coincide with World Mental Health Day on 10 October 2018, (In)visible will feature a group of artists who use their work to convey life’s difficulties. Curated by Jenni Bea & Amy Oliver who were brought together by Instagram & share similar work themes, aesthetics & motivations.

The exhibition will feature work specifically produced as self-expression, communication and therapeutic release. With themes often thought of as taboo such as mental illness, addiction, abuse, and domestic violence, this exhibition promotes honesty and non-censorship. We aim to create a visually stimulating, thought-provoking, inclusive and engaging event that ignites discussion, tackles stigmas and unites artist and audience.

This eclectic show encompasses portrait, abstract, fashion, still life, street photography and many other genres, creating a kaleidoscope of imagery to stimulate and satisfy every visual appetite.

You Can't Beat a Woman
7-20 January 2019


You Can’t Beat a Woman is a Heritage Lottery Fund project directed by June Freeman and Ravi Thiara.

For centuries domestic violence was both wide-spread and widely tolerated in the UK. With the resurgence of feminism in the late 1960s and the birth of anti-racism in the 1970s, however, a new awareness of domestic violence spread among young White British and British Asian and other ethnic minority women. Anger mounted over the misery and damage it caused to many women and a determination that something should be done about this grew.

The exhibition tells the story of how groups of White and Asian women began to campaign for houses to set up as refuges for women desperate to escape from violent husbands and partners. Securing a house was not enough, however. Women also had to learn how to set up viable businesses offering the services abused women needed. The exhibition outlines the way refuges developed as organisations run by women for women.
