***Applications for second cohort of post-graduate artists for alternative art programme TOMA closing 28 April***

Essex’s first alternative art MA, TOMA, is reaching the end of its open call in a bid to find its second cohort of artists with applications closing Friday 28 April. The alternative post-graduate art education programme launched last September with ten artists on the course and is looking for the next group to take part in the responsive course.

Based at Metal Art School the experimental course is a year-long programme that is shaped and directed by the participating TOMA artists. The programme is still open for applications from artists who already have at least five years strong practice and are interested in accessing alternative ways of learning.  

*** The deadline for applications is 28 April 2017 ***

TOMA is a space for artists to work and develop their practice within a critical framework pitched at postgraduate level. It is unaccredited in the traditional sense, but provides a programme of learning that benefits the practice of artists in the same way.  Designed to fit the everyday lives of contemporary working artists it is responsive to its participants and works as an artist-led co-operative. Fluid and open in its evolution, participants directly steer the study programme, selecting and inviting those who come to teach on it and the topics explored.

Visiting artists from TOMA’s first year have so far included; Ackroyd & Harvey, Bruce McLean, Florence Peake, Hannah Leighton-Boyce, Michael Pawlyn and Richard Wentworth. The TOMA artists are also expecting visits from;Becky Beasley, Cornelia Parker, Griselda Pollock, Peter Watkins andSusan Stockwellover the remaining first year of the programme.

TOMA artists also choose their own tutors for the year, take part in self-selected practical workshops, stage exhibitions and public facing events, have regular crits and work collaboratively throughout their year on the programme.

For more details and information on how to apply – please visit www.toma-art.com or email Emma Edmondson on toma@metalculture.com 

TOMA is based at Metal Art School and supported by Metal.
