About Us
Move Your Arts was established in 2007 to promote artists in the South West of England. Our initial project is Unseen South Hams, to be followed by Move, exhibiting the work of exciting South West artists in Bristol in 2008. We intend to display the talent, invention and relevance of contemporary artists based in an area stereotyped as a haven for touristy arts and crafts as well as the appeal of Bristol as a cultural centre and viable alternative to London.
Kate Marshall James Stewart Jack Corrigall
Born in the UK in 1982, Kate lives and works in Devon. After completing a foundation course in Art and Design at Falmouth College she graduated from Goldsmiths in 2004 with a BA in Fine Art and Art History. In 2006 she was selected for the Noise Festival, a national showcase for emerging creative talent judged by Stella Vine. Live performances have become a feature of her shows. Wall and ceiling paintings have taken place in Heidelberg, Germany and at the 2006 Liverpool Biennial, which received coverage on BBC2. Her recent solo show in London's East End included a specially designed peepshow booth and was singled out by the Sunday Times as a must-see. In December Kate will exhibit as the Florence Bienniale and plans to show in the USA and Mexico in 2008.
