Stimulated by the changing environment of the region, each of these artists has left and then returned to the West Midlands at some point in their early, creative careers. Collectively, they explored their different approaches to the ephemeral notion of passage in this exhibition. .passage was funded by the Arts Council England grants for the arts, and through the support of Wolverhampton Art Gallery; also working in collaboration with The Sheila Cooke Foundation, who kindly hosted the after party with a live dj set by Artists’ Valley Records, and in collaboration with Wolverhampton City Council who granted permission for participants to unite venues through an interactive performance art parade through the streets of Wolverhampton city centre at 10pm on the evening of the private view. artists: Craig Barber Sarah Mayhew Kate Self Paul Manasseh Stuart Mills James Nash Ian Cook Jo Spencer & Mark Essen
