News from the Rising Stars Symposium. Two days of talks and seminars supported the practice of emerging artists and makers - thank you to fantastic speakers and more than 100 participants. With our thanks to Andrew and Lucinda Fleming, we are delighted to announce that Michelle Arieu wins the 2012 Rising Stars Professional Development Prize. The Prize was selected by Outi Remes, the New Ashgate, Rebecca Skeels, UCA and Amy Collins, the Farnham Maltings. The panel is inspired by Michelle's way to bring together fine art and craft. Her work is a beautiful fusion of ancient Japanese designs and Italian architecture which she combines with contemporary forms of serene beauty.
THE NEW ASHGATE GALLERY TRUST is dedicated to promoting and selling contemporary fine art and craft. We are a non-profit making organisation and rely on sales from our exhibitions and donations from our clients to further our charitable aims.
As an educational charity, we promote contemporary visual arts and crafts to as wide a public as possible, through a programme of changing exhibitions, projects with artists, makers, projects of support and development delivered by the trust with local, regional and national partnerships and educational events. We deliver educational events including artist's workshops, professional practice seminars and school visits.
