About this Event
The Cratis Breakfast Discussion is scheduled as an informal discussion around a certain topic of interest to the Creative Industry in Colchester, with a special guest.

Oliver is the owner of Statement Art, a company that represents bold visual artists whose work has been incorporated into major Hollywood films, exhibited widely and collected globally by art historians, actors and directors of Merrill Lynch. Oliver believes that art used to be the pinnacle of culture but is now seen as little more than a joke by most people (cough, banana!) His goal is to represent work that transcends the art world and re-engages and inspires the wider public. As part of this mission he has raised £250,000 in alternative funding, including investments, patronage, sponsorship and crowd funding.

This Cratis event is part of the National Apprenticeship Week 2020.

This Discussion is with Oliver Squirrell, Artist Manager at Statement Art.

The event is open to everyone in the Creative Industries.

Arrival at 8AM, coffee and tea will be provided.
