Mike & Aileen Mitchell, the partners of ArtGallery.co.uk, are delighted to
manage the Knapp Gallery in Regent’s College, an international College with over
3,000 students, set in the heart of the lovely Crown park, Regent’s Park. The
Knapp Gallery is superbly situated adjacent to the recently-re-modelled
reception area and is used for College meetings, Open Days, lectures and for
many public and private functions.
Mike Mitchell from ArtGallery.co.uk, said: "As an on-line art gallery with over
900 artists and more than 7,000 original artworks, the Knapp Gallery gives us a
great opportunity to exhibit some of our artists’ work at the Knapp Gallery,
Regent’s College.
We are also privileged to have been allowed by Professor Maurice Cockrill,
Keeper of the Royal Academy of Arts, to show some of the work produced by the
students of the Royal Academy Schools. On the “Academy Wall”, you can see a
varied and dramatic set of paintings by four of his students."
About the Royal Academy Schools’ objectives:
Professor Maurice Cockrill RA, Keeper of the Royal Academy of Arts, said:
"The Royal Academy Schools is an independent establishment that offers the only
three-year, full-time postgraduate course in the UK. As the country’s oldest art
school, it has a strong sense of identity, tradition and community, having
developed continuously since its foundation with the Royal Academy in 1768. It
is regarded throughout the world as a centre of excellence.
There are no fees and every effort is made to help support students with
bursaries, awards and grants for materials, albeit at a quite modest level. Many
students need to take some part-time work – often in the Royal Academy itself –
to offset the high cost of living and studying in London.
Although competition for places at the schools is fierce, the advantages for the
chosen individuals are immense. Its history, illustrious alumni, the
internationally admired programme of loan exhibitions of the Royal Academy
itself, plus numerous commercial art galleries in the vicinity make it a very
stimulating and inspiring environment in which to study.
We are looking for artists who have total commitment to their work, clear
potential for creative growth and a passionate desire to evolve an original and
personal vision."
