Jerwood Encounters: 3-Phase

‘Jerwood Encounters: 3-Phase’ is a new artist development collaboration between two artist-led organisations Eastside Projects (Birmingham) and g39 (Cardiff), and Jerwood Charitable Foundation, through its London based gallery programme Jerwood Visual Arts. 3-Phase offers two early career artists the opportunity to make new work which will be exhibited through five new exhibitions across the collaborating galleries. Across the year-long programme, each artist will access ongoing curatorial and practical support from the partners.

Kelly Best and Georgie Grace have been selected from more than 90 applications. They will each develop a solo show opening at Eastside Projects, Birmingham in January and March 2015 respectively. In May they will present a joint exhibition as part of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme in London. Finally they will each develop a solo show with g39, Cardiff, in November and December 2015. The artists were selected for their ambitious and rigorous ideas which were felt to reflect their commitment to developing an outstanding art practice.
