Hello!
We are the Master of Fine Art course at Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, London. We are hoping to raise £1,500 for our final degree show and its accompanying community engagement and enrichment programme!
What are we doing?
The Master of Fine Art course at Kingston School of Art is proud to announce that we will be presenting a final exhibition in August-September 2019!
This year, the general public is invited to enjoy the work of postgraduate students who have spent the past two years researching and refining their practices. The MFA postgraduates have created ambitious plans to engage the community in art education and enrichment by running an exciting events programme around the show.
The proposed events will include a private view, family workshops, artist talks, themed seminars, and much more at Swan Studios, across from the Stanley Picker Gallery.
However, putting on a degree show and events programme is not an easy task and requires funding to fulfil our vision of an engaging community outreach event. The goal of the exhibition would not only be to promote creativity and education in the arts for the community but also to support emerging artists’ efforts to expand the meaning of an art exhibition.
what are we aiming for?
Should we meet our minimum fundraising goal, all the funds will support printing costs, which comprise of artist and event publications, invitations for the private view, as well as advertising (posters and postcards).
If we manage to hit our target of £1,500, the printing costs will be covered in addition to the costs of the private view, the planned events programme, and the payment for an artist of our choice to present a public artist talk on their work and their place in the contemporary art world.
