about

roves and roams is a Reading-based contemporary arts project founded in 2010. roves and roams produce events, exhibitions and publications which are committed to presenting experimental national and international artists, enabling wider engagement between new work and new audiences. Although Reading-based, the project collaborates with nationwide organisations to deliver varying environments for artists and to promote critical dialogue between audiences.

roves and roams is also home to a network of writers and critics, strewn across the UK, generating an archive of exhibition reviews, critical essays and articles on movements in contemporary art and contributing to the online magazine.
