Contemporary Art in the Community

“Contemporary Art in the Community” is a joint project between Kasia Turajczyk and econnexus.org. 

The primary aim of the project is to take contemporary art out of galleries and museums, to take it out of artist’s studios, and to show it to all sorts of different people in a variety of environments and locations around South West England.

We would like to discover from the ordinary people of Devon and Cornwall, what kind of art they like and what they don’t like. What contemporary art means to them?  Are they interested in art at all? Is there a place for art in their life, living room, kitchen, mind? Or maybe they are not interested in art at all? These are the question and the items we are going to be asking people.

Maybe we will ask you too!
