Who are they then...?

swa cic (south west art work community interest company) was set up in 2006 to offer recent graduates as well as established artists of contemporary visual art & design, opportunities to exhibit and promote their work in and around the South West.

Co-founders Ed Jones and Laura Mulhern are dedicated to promoting contemporary art in their region; both have graduated from an arts based degree from various institutions around Britain, but have remained in the South West ever since.

They believe contemporary art exhibitions do not have to be confined to larger city areas. By utilising the historic venues as exhibition space for contemporary visual arts, produces a great marriage of the old and the new in an attainable and sustainable way.

swa cic have successfully produced a number of exhibitions and workshops to date within such venues; St Peters Church on Portland, Brewers Quay in Weymouth and the Pumping Station & Water museum in Sutton Poyntz. They are constantly on the look out for new contemporary talent and exciting venues to exhibit within.

As we are drawing ever closer to the 2012 Olympics, swa cic are steadfast in promoting and producing fresh visual art work within the South West. Having also been awarded CIC status, swa cic continue to focus on providing and promoting contemporary art for and by the local and wider community.

Keep a look out for any future exhibitions and if you are interested in exhibiting your work with swa cic please contact Ed Jones and/or Laura Mulhern.
