Now entering its sixth year, this is a non-accredited course run by artists for artists, offering an affordable alternative to formal Higher Education courses. It offers a focus on the development of an individual’s practice within a structured yet responsive environment and gives practitioners of all ages a chance to focus on developing their work within a flexible environment. Uniquely, students will benefit from working within the setting of a dynamic contemporary arts organisation with a full and varied programme of exhibitions and events.

The Warehouse Art School aims to provide a stimulating environment where students are encouraged to take risks in their work and are supported in their continuing professional development through a programme of critical and practical teaching, delivered through projects, workshops, collaboration, networking and talks. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the additional classes offered by OVADA including Life Drawing and Experimental Drawing and Contemporary Painting.

The core teaching day for the course is Wednesday (10am – 4pm), but the timetable also includes some Thursdays.

The course is aimed at artists wishing to consolidate, develop and professionalise their Fine Art practice at any stage of their career. There are no formal entry requirements, however it is essential that students must show commitment to the aims of the course and demonstrate an appropriate standard of work.

The number of students will be restricted to 12 per year in order to allow for ample tutorial time and a uniquely student-led approach.

Cost per year: £1,900
