Debate & exhibition “About the narrative in Painting”

Lectures & artist talks

There has been a period when the narrative was all but absent from painting, however today's students consciously or intuitively choose a narrative approach in their work. That finding prompted art teachers from Bristol and LUCA School of Arts to organize a symposium on how art education can accommodate the narrative in painting.

This is the second symposium. A symposium on the subject has previously been held at Bristol School of Art at the University of the West of England.

The symposium consists of a debate and an exhibition.

Welcome!
