WE ARE POOL ARTS
We are artists
We are painters
sculptors
theatre makers
writers
photographers
performers
some queer
some from here
and there
neurodiverse
never-normative…
we do textile, abstract, figurative, satire, line work, brush work, club nights, radio, sound in our search for sanity
to create our own environments, to express an idea, to create beauty, to change the world, to care for ourselves and each other
We are pool arts, and WE ARE NOT BORED
OUR NAME COMES FROM VICTORIA BATHS, where we were artists in residence back in the early 2000’s and decided to pool our talent, ideas, inspiration and care, and became the collective we are today.
We are a members-led collective of artists with varied lived experiences. WE ARE A WORK OF ART IN OUR OWN RIGHT. We are open to new members, collaborations exhibitions and projects. We are part of the conversation. So speak with us and make friends.
WE ARE WELL LOVED
And so are you…
"We dedicate this website and our coming exhibitions to the memory of Alison Kershaw, the founder of Pool Arts.
Without her we would not have done what we have done. She was and is "well loved" and genuinely missed by us all."
