All the teachers at Art in Action are artists or art teachers. Art in Action wishes to thank the following organisations for providing additional teachers and support: The Art Academy, Camberwell, Chelsea & Wimbledon Art Colleges, The Embroiderers’ Guild, The Guild of Glass Engravers, Nature in Art, Oxford & Cherwell Valley College, The Prince's School of Traditional Arts, and West Dean College.

The teachers working in the Practical Classes have a joint exhibition (map tbc) and most of the works are for sale. It's a wonderful opportunity to see a wide variety of art created to a very high standard.
