Hauser and Wirth, a leading international art gallery founded by Iwan Wirth, Manuela Wirth and Ursula Hauser, wanted to make a difference. Gray鈥檚 School of Art聽had a plan to deliver outreach across the region, engaging communities and raising awareness and understanding of the creative industries. By co-creating a vision for regional arts empowerment, a three-year partnership was born which will fund 拢30,000 a year for a Mobile Art School.
The custom-built Mobile Art School聽vehicle is equipped with creative tools including 3D digital design, visualisation and production resources, combined with traditional art design making materials. The unit takes expertise and resources beyond Gray鈥檚 School of Art, offering free workshops to communities while providing professional experience and teaching opportunities for recent graduates.
