Q-Art London launched in November 2008 as a forum for critical exchange, networking and peer-review for visual art and visual culture students and graduates from across London's major art Universities. Q-Art London’s purpose is to provide an additional and alternative learning environment to the institution; to break down the barriers between various art schools, their departments and levels of study, also allowing a crossing of perspectives; and to provide a place where graduates of these colleges can continue to present and critically discuss work in a familiar, supportive and critical environment.
