Learning the lessons art school missed

Back to School with Axis is our annual season of events dedicated to lifelong learning and helping artists to keep going.

September is giving back to school vibes here at Axis, even though it has been many years since we have been out of school uniform.

That is why we are so excited to present this year’s Back to School with Axis season, now in its fourth cycle, a full month of events dedicated to lifelong learning and the things you wish they had taught you at art school, or the class you missed that day.
