East Street Arts Continues Professional Development with the Salon Winners

One year after the Chapeltown Salon exhibition (March 2010, union 105), the three Judges Choice award winners, Josie Flynn, Stephen Felmingham and Tony Tomlin, are all back with new bodies of work.

The artists’ were chosen as Salon Winners by a selection panel including Sonya Dyer (London based artist, curator, writer and cultural critic), Roddy Hunter (York-based artist, writer and Head of Fine Arts at York St John University), Karen Sherwood (Founder and Director of Cupola Contemporary Art, freelance consultant and curator) and Nigel Walsh (Curator of Contemporary Art at Leeds Art Gallery). The criteria for selection were qualities such as subject matter, mastery of medium and materials, technical competence, relevance within contemporary art market and unique approach.

To recognise their high achievements, East Street Arts offered the three winners support and representation in our 2011 public programme. Over the past year, Josie, Stephen and Tony have been supported by the East Street Arts team to develop the most appropriate opportunities for presenting each of the artists’ practice. As part of their continued professional development and relevant to their practice and career.
