Are you a year 9, 10 or 11 art student who wants an immersive experience exploring the inner workings of art galleries and professional creative practice? NERAM is launching deFine Art, a six-week Museum Masterclass that will uncover the behind the scenes operations of the museum, give students access to artists, museum staff, studios and our fantastic collection, in a series of minds on, hands on sessions. Participants will learn about various careers involved at the museum including curating, collections management and conservation and will engage with established artists and their practices. Throughout the masterclass students will develop and design their own art event to be held at NERAM at the culmination of the course for their friends and families.
Over 6-weeks students will be guided by artist facilitator, Adam Humphreys. Adam Humphreys is a Welsh sculptor working across a myriad of mediums with work featured in collections across the UK, South Africa New Zealand and Australia. Click to view Adam’s biography and artwork here.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in a workshop with local artist and recent 2021 Stanthorpe Art Prize Winner, Leah Bullen. Leah will share her practice and do a session with students on her area of expertise, monotypes. More information about Leah’s work is here.
