This event, organised by Emerge and taking place at The Photographers' Gallery, is intended as a first stop for artists to get to grips with how their practice could connect with, and be supported by, a variety of approaches to working within education. Includes a presentation by artist Emma Hart, and contributions by staff from Serpentine Gallery, The Photographers' Gallery, photographer/educator Les Monaghan and Cath Hawes, Arts practitioner / Consultant / Educator.

Emerge is holding its first event of 2009/10 with The Photographers’ Gallery in its new home in Soho.  Entitled ‘I want to work in Education, but I don’t know how’ it is intended as a first stop for artists to get to grips with how their practice could connect with, and be supported by a variety of approaches to working within Education.

The evening will be informal and driven by practical exercises.  Emma Hart, an artist working with video and live art actions, has worked with Camden Arts Centre and Whitechapel Gallery and exhibited as part of the ICA’s 0-60 season.  Hart will lead a hands on session looking at keeping your practice at the core of your work as an educator. 

Artists will be encouraged to devise their own responses and ideas for the current exhibition and offer up their outcomes for review by a panel including Janice McLaren, Head of Education and Projects at The Photographers’ Gallery, Eleanor Farrington, Education Programmer, Serpentine Gallery, Les Monaghan, Photographer and Educator and Cath Hawes, Arts practitioner / Consultant / Educator.

The evening is intended to be stimulating, but above all, useful.  There will be opportunities to showcase your own project and ask for help from our network of artists.
