The Arts and artists in Hull

In no particular order, possibly incomplete.

In Hull there is a relatively small network of artists and some old staff members of the Art School (University of Lincoln). There are only two galleries in Hull and there is not much space for contemporary arts and artistic practices. There are courses and some higher education of the colleges and both Universities.

The fine arts department of the School for Art and Design closed last year, and the EICH gallery closed this week. The city hosts a few public collections. Hull College has expanded its arts foundation courses.
