ROADSHOW PROGRAMME
for: Schools, Fundraising Projects, Public and Commercial Galleries

About the Roadshow Programme Did you know that The Great Atlantic Galleries have developed a high profile and changing programme of mobile exhibitions that travel to a variety of venues at home and abroad? The venues for these exhibitions include commercial and public galleries, schools, colleges and private functions. We can set up in village halls, school classrooms, fully fitted galleries and even canvas marquees! Most frequently, our venues are independent schools with flourishing art departments that co-operate with us to bring the best art from the wider commercial scene alongside the work of their talented students. Quite often, we will bring one or more artists who provide master classes and talk about their work. These shows raise the profile of the host art department both within the school and in the wider community and generate much needed funds from a share of any sales. We have worked successfully as part of fund-raising activities and in one case made a significant contribution towards the construction of a new music and performing arts building over a three year period. We can also kick-start new commercial exhibition venues by providing a range of work from already successful artists and even re-vitalise galleries that need to change their image. So whatever your interest, please contact us if you can 'check' any of the boxes below, in the category most relevant to you.
