Welcome to the website for the artist-led group
Alturnertive
Alturnertive aims to provide opportunities to show the best of Kent's emerging artists and art students. We believe that there are fantastic Biennials and Triennials in Kent but that there are a lack of opportunities to gain experience in exhibiting when you are an art student or emerging artist.
Although we are a recently - formed group and in our early stages we have planned an exciting programme of exhibitions, collaborations and site-specific projects for the coming year.
Please join our mailing list and come back often to check for updates.
We have had an amazing response and have over 1000 people involved including, amongst others, over 300 individuals, schools colleges, universities, offices, libraries, a health centre, a local neighbourhood project for vulnerable familes and an RAF Squadron in Afghanistan.
This project is based on (and part of) the world-wide "1000 Journals Project". It is a very simple idea... You get the book for 2 days to fill in a few pages (with anything they like..collage/painting/writing/drawing etc etc etc) after 2 days you post it onto the next person on the list.
The idea is to encourage everybody to join in and to widen participation in the arts. Come along and see the results!
