Who we are
We met at Hereford College of Arts, whilst studying Fine Art, and with a desire to revitalise Hereford and find outlets for the amazing skills of Herefordshire's artists and makers we set up art360 at the beginning of 2009.
We have a passionate desire to begin something exciting which will provide a new and progressive vision for the centre of the city.
Hay on Wye has a world renowned reputation for books, Ludlow in Shropshire for food, and we believe Hereford must capitilise on it’s artistic heritage and become just as famous for the arts.
Our first step – to use some of the many empty shop windows to display the great diversity of art produced by local artists and students.
Our 3 main aims...
1.
To provide community events, inclusive to all the people of Herefordshire, particularly to groups who otherwise would not have the opportunity to take part and display their work.
2.
To promote artistic education, encouraging new artists by
providing a positive, attractive setting, and
encouraging positive growth for the High Town area of
the city.
3.
To radically improve the look of High Town which at
present is blighted by so many unoccupied retail
premises.
