AltMFA

Alt MFA is an alternative Master of Fine Art course established in 2010 by artists for artists as a free alternative to studying a university-based Masters in London. 

In the past AltMFA has had residencies with Guest Projects, Floating Island Gallery, The Departure Foundation, and has been hosted by Campbell Works and The Function Room. Previous projects have included 'AltMFA and Friends International Jamboree' month-long DIY Universsity at Guest Projects, 'OPEN PLAN’ at 55 Gracechurch Street, a collective project space led by students from Alt MFA and RCA Sculpture, as well as our live performance walks for ArtLicks Weekend since 2013.

We have been hosted by May Day Rooms, Dalston Library, Campbell Works and The Function Room. Previous projects have included ‘OPEN PLAN’ at 55 Gracechurch Street, a collective project space led by students from Alt MFA and RCA Sculpture, as well as our live performance tours at ArtLicks Weekend, sessions for Antiuniversity Festival and 2016 and an online exhibition on GalleryELL. After completing residencies at Yinka Shonibare's Guest Projects in 2015 and 2016, AltMFA explored their collective as family through collaborating with each other and family members as part of the RA Burlington Gardens Summer Festival 2016. AltMFA were also in New York as part of the Alternative Art School Fair at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
