MONDAY 20 MARCH 2006, 7.30pm: Aimed at emerging artists keen to turn their passion into profit, this third session pulls together an expert panel from different walks of the art world to discuss how to secure your first exhibition and move onwards and upwards, what curators and galleries are looking for, how and when to get an agent, useful networks and collectives to join and so on. Internationally renowned graffiti artist Temper is an inspirational figure for young talent. He built himself from the ground up, working as a grave digger and forklift driver in his home town of Wolverhampton before setting up his own fashion label - Blind Mice Clothing - from his flat. His subsequent career speaks for itself: the first graffiti artist to be awarded a solo exhibition in a public gallery, he has created six phenomenally successful collections, with individual canvases selling for tens of thousands of pounds. He has worked with the likes of Saatchi & Saatchi, Sprite and Coca Cola, and now has his eye fixed on the States. Chris Hammond is the Director of MOT International in London, and has worked with artistic luminaries of the calibre of Jake and Dinos Chapman, Sarah Lucas, Mark Wallinger, Derek Jarman and Chris Cunningham. Chris recently curated an exhibition in St Paul's Church, Hockley as part of the inaugural New Art Birmingham festival and was immediately impressed with the standard of work being produced in the region, dubbing it "a hotbed of activity... international in its outreach." Chaired by Birmingham-based portrait painter Stephen Earl Rogers - a mentor for Creative Alliance, who advises emerging regional artists on their personal and professional development - the session will be inspirational for emerging artists and sculptors finding their feet on a regional and national scale, and a great opportunity to form partnerships and network with those at the top of their game.
