THE WEIGHT OF THINGS

The Fold Art Collective is a group of 12 women artists founded in January 2022 as a focus for under-represented voices, and to address the challenges for women artists over 40 having opportunities to show their work in galleries and obtain residencies. The work spans painting, sculpture, film and photography. Morley College was pivotal to the foundation of this group: almost all the artists in the Collective are ex-students of Morley College.  Five have completed the Morley College Foundation in Fine Art and five have completed the Fine Art Mentoring course, both one-year programmes. Two have been students on the Advanced Painting course, also a one-year commitment. Eight have attended an assortment of other adult education short course over years.
