ABOUT

An exhibition of 5 female artists whose practice involves the use of unusual materials in interesting ways. The exhibition is planned as part of the POW! Thanet Festival 8th – 12th March 2017, which aims to celebrate International Women’s Day on the 8th March. The exhibition will include 2 and 3 D works made from plastic, cloth, glass, metal, resin, dust, tumble dryer lint and hair.

Prior to the Preview on the 10th March, four of the participating artists will talk about their practice, starting from their early years as an emerging artist to the present day, at which point they will introduce their works on display. The talks aim to give some insights into the kind of barriers and practical solutions they have encountered as female artists, highlighting their experience with exhibiting, fund raising, artist residencies, artist studio schemes, and D.I.Y. marketing and publicity.
