Minor Arts is a new program by Triptych Course that offers courses at a reduced rate for young and emerging artists. We aim to create an environment where artists of all description can pursue their practice without distraction, in beautiful environments and surrounded by other artists.
Jack Laver and Alex Carey Morgan are London-based mix-media artists with adjoining studios in Chelsea’s Bomb Factory. Combining forces for the first installment of Minor Arts, they have devised a program that incorporates their respective artistic processes, intigegrating elements of painting, sculpture, and casting to create a week-long collaborative artist residency at Verrocchio Art Center in the very heart of Tuscany, Italy. -
