A bootcamp to help artists get their careers off the ground has seen participants get their work into galleries and magazines.
The 10-week programme to help working class artists in the West Midlands has run twice this year and was developed by Birmingham-based art curator and critic Ruth Millington.
She said the art world was notoriously hard to get into, “particularly those without connections or inherited wealth”.
Sandra Palmer, known as The Brummy Artist, who has shown her work in exhibitions in Birmingham and London, said the programme was a “game-changer”.
