‘Artist in Transit’

‘Artist in Transit’ is a public art project undertaken by Visual Artist Julie Andrews as part of her research into the in-between spaces and aims to provide an impromptu encounter with ‘art’ through drawing.

The ‘Artist in Transit’ explores the view from the window through drawing whilst inviting commuters to join in the experience. Julie Andrews provides quality recycled A5 drawing cards and ink markers to encourage people to take up the offer to draw, with a focus on the view from the window. Everyone and everything is welcome, abstract, figurative, scribbles or any form of mark making. The artist uses a Facebook page, Julie Andrews- Art Page, to document the project and to share the drawings and the exhibition dates with the people who participate. The work is anonymous and will be exhibited at several sites throughout the year where the work on closing will be offered to those who attend, as a gift from one traveller to another.
