Convenience Gallery is currently working with Working Class Creatives Database for their 2023 programme. They are working alongside the WCCD team to shape funding, selection, curation, support and locations for the Merseyside section of a UK wide programme of events and exhibitions focused on supporting and championing working class creatives.
More details From WCCD:
‘For our (WCCD) 2023 Programme, The Working-Class Creatives Database are hosting a series of Exhibitions, Residencies, Workshops and Talks in Low Engagement areas across the UK including: Hull, Woolwich, Wakefield, Gloucester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Luton, Preston, Middlesborough and Merseyside.
We will work with local creatives and galleries/project spaces to create exhibitions, host workshops and discussions for the public which centre the theme of class within the arts. We are currently in the process of selecting Creatives to show work. We are also interested in commissioning a working-class writer to work on the vinyl and the press release for the show focusing on new ways of presenting work to the public. All artists will be paid a fee. We are also looking for a Working class photographer to document the exhibitions’
For the Convenience collaboration with WCCD they are looking to champion and exhibit 4 working class artists from across Merseyside for an exhibition that will take place in May 2023 with location TBC.
If you are interested in taking part in the project get in contact. Tell them a bit about yourself and your practice and please also sign yourself onto the WCCD database and map.
