Learning

Mission Gallery has always recognised Education as part of its core activity and is engaged in community arts, working on innovative and progressive projects with groups and communities across the county in Swansea and surrounding areas.

Our Art Education Programme is wide ranging and complements the Exhibition Programme. It is designed to cater for all ages and to support all levels of learning, from Primary through to Higher Education, encompassing students and staff, taking place both within the gallery and in off site locations.By involving artists and arts educationalists who have a commitment to the highest quality, Mission Gallery ensures that educational work always seeks to encourage the participants to explore ideas and techniques in an atmosphere where quality of expression is as important as quality of experience. The education programme works with schools and higher education establishments, and education agencies to identify socially deprived groups who can participate in the education programme.

Through education and outreach community projects Mission Gallery seeks to enrich people’s lives with a programme that deepens their knowledge, understanding, and love of contemporary visual art and craft, while also challenging received ideas of good practice by selecting artists that are introducing new ideas and new subjects.

We encourage widespread engagement with contemporary visual art and crafts through activities inspired by our exhibitions and events programme. These include workshops, projects and events for families and school children, young people and adults, often involving exhibiting artists, curators and art historians.
