About the Programme

 

Upon signing up, members will be invited to fill out an accessibility survey and personal profile. The accessibility survey will be used to tailor the programme and environment to their needs, and provide members with a sense of security that their place on the programme is supported. A personal profile will also allow members to introduce themselves to other members and get to know each other a little before meeting for the first time.

 

Lucy’s Art Club is being held in Turntable Gallery (TT88), a bustling gallery space that holds many exhibitions and events in the heart of the Grimsby Fish Docks. More information on the Turntable Gallery can be found at their website, including directions to find the gallery, at this address:

Each zoom session is optional, though attendees will be able to participate without physical attendance if they so choose. These sessions will also allow distance-attendees to meet the rest of the group. These will be on the following dates between 1pm and 2pm:

           

           Tuesday 16^th July

           Tuesday 13^th August

The course itself will be delivered in person and members will be able to access a travel bursary of £160* to travel to and from the gallery for each session. The programme will also be made available to members online. Each member will receive professional critique of their work from Dale Wells and Darren Neave of Turntable Gallery, and the opportunity to exhibit their work in a group exhibition at TT88 in January 2025.
