Our Studio doors are back open for visual artists to join Mark Devereux Projects’ yearly creative community and membership programme. Meet likeminded creatives in a safe online space to receive regular critique on the development of your work.
Following our first year we have made some exciting changes to Our Studio which will provide artists with more regular sessions and a new focus on the critical rigour for your practice. As an artist in Our Studio, you will become part of a dynamic, supportive network meeting new artists from different disciplines, backgrounds and geographic areas. Our Studio includes:
- group crit sessions every 6-weeks
- access to professional development resources & guidance documents online
- access to an online private community setting for regular dialogue & support
- 15% discount on any other courses, workshops or mentoring offered by MDP
Our Studio is a rolling membership programme for artists to join at any point through the year. Led by experienced curator and mentor, Mark Devereux, you will receive critically rigorous feedback, advice and recommendations on works-in-progress and/or recently completed works. Mark will share his extensive curatorial knowledge and experience to help support your practice and career development.
We recognise that it is not always easy to be part of a creative community – whether that’s because you work from home, live in a remote area or have caring responsibilities. By hosting these sessions online, we aim to breakdown some of these barriers and encourage new lasting networks and relationships. Our Studio is underpinned by Mark Devereux Projects’ Safer, Braver Spaces manifesto – creating spaces for artists to share, learn and listen.
Re-launching on 11 September 2025, Our Studio will meet online (Zoom) every 6-weeks on Thursday’s (session 1: 9:30-11:30am / session 2: 1:30-3pm)*.
* We are currently taking bookings for the second group sessions. Once we reach our capacity of 6 artists, these sessions will commence.
