Standpoint Education

Standpoint is committed to the promotion of the arts and crafts, for the individual, communal and public benefit.

We understand that art and education are inextricably linked and are committed to providing high quality, flexible educational programmes to meet the demands of a culturally diverse community.

Studio Education

The artists at Standpoint Studios have demonstrated a long-term commitment to the local community and have been successfully running educational projects for more than ten years.


We work with a wide range of professional artists who are able to deliver art workshops in painting, ceramics, letterpress, print, etching, photography, collage, textiles, sculpture and book art.

Gallery Education

All exhibitions are run in collaboration with exhibiting artists, and this includes participation in our education programme. Aimed at local schools, further education institutions, and the general public, the programme is designed to promote debate on relevant issues and to introduce the work through talks, lectures and study groups.

There is also a strong committmet to the provision of a Professional Practice Programme and participation in the Trident Work Experience programme.

 

 

 

 

Community Art Studio

The community art studio provides a safe environment for the delivery and enjoyment of art education workshops. It is an integral part of Standpoint Studios and benefits from the professionalism and experience of the artists working here.

It can be used by all members of the local community, including people from schools and colleges, youth clubs, special needs and community groups, and the general public.

Standpoint is professionally equipped for working in a wide variety of media. Our workshop projects have included painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and photography. We have a comprehensive database of artists available to run workshops, Education and training programmes can be individually designed to accommodate the needs of the participants. To compliment the workshop practice, we also run evening classes and summer schools, providing practical training and professional support.

 

 

A selection of works made by young people in workshops are shown in an exhibition in the Gallery at the end of each year. The exhibition is titled “We Made This”, and provides a unique opportunity for young people to see their works displayed in a professional context.
