The Farley Arts Trust organises educational projects in collaboration with schools and other special interest groups. In the past these have included: workshops and talks (which can be combined with tours of Farleys House); and visits to temporary outdoor sculpture installations with tours of the garden at Farleys.

These projects are developed in collaboration with schools, community groups or artists and are dependent on securing funding. If you have an idea which you would like the Trustees to consider please email it to Miranda Pennington, Arts Education Manager at mirandapennington@yahoo.co.uk.

PAST PROJECTS

BOOKLETS FOR PAST TOURING EXHIBITIONS

The booklets listed below can be purchased from Amazon. These were produced to accompany the exhibitions (curated by Ian Chance) which the Trust toured to schools, art centres and galleries over ten years from 2008. Images of all 28 black and white photographs in each exhibition are reproduced in the booklets along with essays written by Antony Penrose.

• Lee Miller at Farley Farm, photographs taken by Lee Miller showing visitors to her home including Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst and Paul Eluard
• Roland Penrose’s Surrealist Camera, photographs taken between 1929 and 1959 by the Surrealist artist Roland Penrose
• Picasso at Play, photographs of Picasso taken by Lee Miller and her husband the Surrealist artist Roland Penrose

EMERGING YOUNG ARTISTS EXHIBITION 2021

Since 2006 the Trust has organised the Farley Arts Trust Art Awards and Exhibition celebrating the outstanding creativity of East Sussex students studying GCSE and A level arts. Due to the cancellation of our usual programming during the Covid pandemic we switched our focus to inviting earlier participants to apply for bursaries designed to further their art careers.

Many of the recipients of the bursaries continued to make art works during the pandemic and we organised an exhibition, Emerging Young Artists, showing new work by these artists at Gallery North in Hailsham in September/October 2021.

The following shows work by all participants in that exhibition.
