Contemporary Collective and Bankside Hotel are excited to announce the official launch of our brand new video series, 'Where Are They Now?", spotlighting former Artists in Residence. Following the success of our Virtual Artist in Residence Programme, we will continue to explore new digital resources to support our community and connect with our clients during this uncertain time.
Over the upcoming months, new episodes will be released every Tuesday on Instagram and Facebook and will feature a different former Artist in Residence. Although we are unable to provide physical workshops to our clients and viewers, this new video series will connect artists directly to the community as they showcase a unique element of their practice in a digital workshop format similar to the events hosted during their physical residencies. With every video segment capturing a unique angle of content, we hope to spread inspiration and entertainment to our global audience as the world slowly opens up.
To supplement the launch of this series we have curated an exclusive collection on our website showcasing and celebrating the talented work of our former Artists in Residence. This collection includes special offers and discounted prices and is now live on DegeeeArt.com.
The video series can be accessed on DegreeArt's Instagram and Facebook pages, and episodes will be released every week. Officially launching on Tuesday 7th July, please find the official schedule of confirmed artists below*:
