Please join Fine Art to celebrate the opening of Right Here, Right Now, and to mark the Launch of FINE ART 100, our four-year long celebration of the creation and awarding of the very first BA (Hons) of Fine Art in England, at Newcastle University
Over the next four years and leading up to the 100th anniversary of the awarding of our first degree, Fine Art 100 will mark this milestone in the history of Art Education by curating and hosting a series of exhibitions, events and creative activities with alumni , students, staff and partners. Our programme marks the innovation, value, and contribution of the department across pedagogy, research, and creative practice.
This inaugural exhibition Right Here, Right Now shines a spotlight on the present, bringing together the work of all the current staff and students in one space, offering a snapshot of the Fine Art department as it exists now, at this significant point in it’s history. The exhibition continues Mon 18 – Sat 30 September, XL gallery.
An accompanying timeline display in the Long Gallery highlights the historical and current innovations that has kept Fine Art at Newcastle at the forefront of academic and creative practice in the UK.
Looking to the next 100 years, we want to ensure that Fine Art at Newcastle University remains an inclusive and diverse place for the artists of tomorrow to think, create, experiment, and thrive. As part of the Fine Art 100 celebrations, we are also launching the FINE ART 100 Fund . This will help support our creative & civic vision for fair and equal access to Fine Art education at Newcastle University for all students.
Please Join us on Tuesday 19 Sept from 4.30pm as we celebrate the past, look at the present, and question what the next 100 years of Fine Art education and research might be.
All are Welcome !
