By Eilis Hanson.
AccessArt is creating a body of work to explore, celebrate and promote the notion of “Tiny Art Schools” across the UK. Tapping into existing practice and innovation, we’ll be sharing how artist educators are working with their audiences, using community centres, village halls, and private studio spaces as art education labs, and building creative and economic communities of all sizes. In this series of case studies, we’ll be showcasing a range of Tiny Art Schools, their different approaches, and what they offer the communities they’re in.
