When Art’s Boundaries are Blurred with Life
with Trevor Avery

Friday 9th February 2024 (7-9pm)
@ The Studio Morland
Free, but booking essential

Trevor will share with the audience his experience of a creative life where art's boundaries are blurred. We will discuss early teenage experiences with insurance companies and the liberation of art college, his work with bringing London’s homeless off the streets, life before being an Arts Manager and afterward in developing the Holocaust Project. Our discussion will traverse life, creativity, childhood, addiction and trauma, mental health, sculpture and parts of culture that are seen as the underbelly of society and how we work with communities.
