AMA DOGBE X BRIDGWATER AND TAUNTON COLLEGE
Digital Art Collaboration
Studio 10 Project Space

For this exhibition, digital fine artist Ama Dogbe will work together with first year Art & Design students from Bridgwater and Taunton College to create a collaborative digital artwork. Over 2 weeks in June, Ama will lead the students through various practical and digital workshops, introducing them to different techniques and programs for creating digital art.
The students will have four days working with Ama, and two days working independently, before coming to East Quay for a day to curate their show through a hands on workshop in Studio 10. They will also have the opportunity to hear from different members of the East Quay team, including a Director from Onion Collective, a Curator from Contains Art, and other creatives working in and with East Quay, to understand a little more about the diversity of careers available in the arts.
