News & Opportunities
Welcome to a AR+ Online
In the absence of exhibitions and events caused by the recent closures of galleries and arts organisations we have decided to temporarily open up our AR+ Online to all non members giving all artists access to commissioning and exhibition opportunities, available studio space and a selection of professional development services in the area.
We hope that this will inspire and encourage creativity in these hard times and continue our work with artists albeit virtually.
If you would like to join the membership to support the scheme. Artists are invited to join our AR+ Membership for £15 a year. This gives you exclusive access to AR+ Online, updated at least once a month with commissioning and exhibition opportunities, available studio space and a selection of professional development services in the area. All subscriptions help fund the artist-curated news and opportunities page and other artist services.
We’re delighted to offer subscribers to AR+ Online a 20% discount at Cass Art on your next online or in-store order, plus free standard delivery. To redeem this offer, simply enter the bespoke discount code FABRICA20 at the online checkout at cassart.co.uk.
