This panel discussion (2 Dec 2020) explored the legacy of ‘lost art schools’ in the UK, and the impact of small local art schools being subsumed into universities. Sean Kaye (co-curator with Ian Hartshorne of the “Fully Awake” exhibition series), chaired a conversation with Matthew Cornford (University of Brighton), Natasha Kidd (Bath Spa University), Zoë Mendelson (Wimbledon College of Arts) and Kathleen Mullaniff (Middlesex University).
