Backwater Artists Network Testimonials
Membership of the BAN has proved to be of great benefit to my practice, providing me with all of the opportunities that participating in an artists’ organisation can provide: exhibition prospects, openings for sales, connections with other art-practitioners, and possibilities to attend art-related talks and courses (usually CPD courses).
Andrew Carroll, BAN member
Being part of the BAN has proven to be essential in my practice as an artist. Access to workshops, exhibitions and making connections with other Artists is vital in keeping my practice current and informed.
