ENTERPRISE involves the additional assets of being able to spot and act on opportunities,
being resourceful, proactive, having a vision; project management, networking and financial acumen.

Q-Arts

Q-Art London was set up by Sarah Rowles, then in her second year of her art practice BA at Goldsmiths (Graduated 2010), in November 2008. Q-Art is a forum for students, graduates and self-trained artists from across London. Q-Art London’s purpose is to provide an additional and alternative learning environment to the institution; to break down the barriers between various art schools, their departments and levels of study allowing a crossing of perspectives; and to provide a place where graduates can continue to present and critically discuss work in a familiar and supportive environment. Q-Art is free and opens up the systems of HE art education and art evaluation for anyone to take part in.
