Turps East Sussex Programme is a mentoring programme for painters whose studios are based in East Sussex.
Turps mentors visit participants in their own studios for one-to-one tutorials. Participants develop a supportive network of peers across the region through regularly scheduled group crits in Hastings and Brighton. Monthly artist talks will take place alternately at Hastings Contemporary and Phoenix Art Space throughout the academic year.
Turps East Sussex is an alternative learning programme, not an accredited educational qualification. It is an opportunity for painters who are experienced in their practice to further their exploration of the media and re-energise that practice through a rigorous work ethic and critical engagement with peers and practicing artists, all within a supportive, timetabled structure.
