Allen & Overy LLP Artbeat 2005-2006
Since its inception in 2003, Artbeat has gained recognition as a flagship development initiative for young artists. Through Artbeat, Workplace Art project manages and Allen & Overy LLP sponsors professional artists to lead workshops in Tower Hamlets secondary schools through which students are challenged to create artwork for display at A&O’s Canary Wharf and Spitalfields offices, where nearly one hundred vibrant and thought-provoking Artbeat paintings, digital prints and sculptures are on display.
Artbeat starts with the belief that if we set students the ambitious goal of creating work for display in the offices of a global legal practice, and provide them with experienced art educators, they will rise to the challenge and surpass all of our expectations – and their own.
