  9. 1. Do I go to Goldsmiths, Chelsea, Camberwell? Will I be a different, better, more successful artist if I attend somewhere else? How does the education system differ between colleges?Why are we receiving the education we do and why does contemporary art look like it does?2. What happens when we graduate? How do we survive as an artist - do we? Is their a fair valuation system or does our fate dependent upon someone else’s opinion or who we know? Do we get thrown in to the abyss when we leave? 3. Why in the art market, do some things sell for millions of pounds and others for a fewhundred pounds?

  10. Convenors • Key ideas: • -Students from across colleges can meet • - See different art schools (physically) and whether work is any different • - Peer led. Students can learn from graduates, Foundation from BA etc • Graduates can return to familiar environment to present in after leaving art school and find new support network • - Those not in art education can see what goes on.
