EXHIBITION archive
Exhibiting is a core activity of the HS project.
The HS1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 projects are 2-year entry programmes that include masterclasses, coaching, mentorships, and exhibition trials in various public spaces.
The HS3, 5, and 7 projects are one-year expert programmes (no mentors but instead a coaching programme and exhibitions at reputable venues) with selected artists from the different HS projects.
Alumni/Curated exhibitions are one-off expert projects with selected artists from different HS projects. Each alumni exhibition differs according to the curator’s or exhibition premises’ selections, brief, and preferences.
