The Makers’ Art Collective came together in 2019 whilst the founding artists were studying for postgraduate degrees. Each artist addresses societal issues through the lens of their own experiences and histories, with distinct characteristics.

Their work explores memory, identity, people, place and time, and environment. Having shown first in 2019 at the OXO Tower in London, the Makers’ Art Collective have reconnected for this show at Chichester’s Oxmarket Contemporary.

Each artist challenges the orthodoxy of their chosen medium to push its boundaries and create new approaches, showcasing considerable skills in their respective specialisms. Original and exciting, the collective’s work is capable not only of drawing the eye with its vibrant aesthetics, but also of prompting a very real human response.
