SAINSBURY CENTRE Associate Artists Find out more about the Associate Artists who work on the Sainsbury Centre Learning Programmes, to help you plan your work with us.
INTRODUCTION Across the Sainsbury Centre Learning Programmes we use a collaborative approach, working directly with artists. These Associate Artists help us to devise interpretive resources, deliver much of our regular programme of practical workshops, and collaborate with us on research projects. This artist-led programme promotes creative, enquiry-based approaches to learning in the gallery, giving you the opportunity to develop new skills, engage with ideas, and explore and experiment through making. In this document, the Sainsbury Centre Associates Artists introduce themselves in their own words. To find out more about the work that we do visit our website: www.sainsburycentre.ac.uk/ learning To book a workshop or talk about how we might work together, contact sainsburycentrelearning@uea.ac.uk Sainsbury Centre Learning team
