Alternative Art School Weekender

The Alternative Art School Weekender is a creative project inviting you to come along and be part of a growing network of people who are self-organising to reconsider the shape of academic art education and how these shifts in ethics and practice might challenge the art establishment. Hosted by The Other MA (TOMA*)

Come and join our seriously fun playground where you can be both student and teacher; where debates happen over pot luck meals and visions of the future are shared. Expect an exhibition, performance night, screenings, critical theory, alternative food making, group walks, talks on art and activism and collaborative workshops. The public are welcome to attend, learn and contribute all the events for FREE.

Below is a list of happenings over the weekender. A detailed schedule will be released soon. Contributing schools and collectives include; Alt MFA, Art & Critique, DIY Space Print Collective, Extinction Rebellion, Islington Mill Art Academy, MilkesKM, Open School East, PACTO, School of the Damned, Shades of Noir, Syllabus and TOMA.

*TOMA is an artist-run alternative art education model for 21st century artists set up in 2015 and run in partnership with Metal and based in Southend-on-Sea.
