The Oily Rag Project is a documentation of twenty two projects that have been affordable to both individual visual artists as well as groups. Each case study profiled includes information on its Aims, Those involved, Venue, Timeframe, Costs, Funding, Promotion, Audience, Post exhibition/event reflections and Contact details. The venues used for these events are many and varied, such as disused buildings, tidal estuaries, shop windows, libraries, street pavements, bedrooms, horticultural centres and space in between buildings.
By documenting these projects Artists Alliance seeks to inspire and motivate artists to get their work and ideas ‘out there’. The case studies clearly prove that having little or no money should not be a barrier for artists wanting to put their art out into the community, irrespective of their intent, be it sale of work or wanting to engage an audience with a particular concept.
