The artists displaying work in this website came together as undergraduates on the University of Nottingham's Visual Arts degree course. All five graduated in 2003 and have since set up ART-ROUTES.

The five established the group in order to provide support for one another in their working practices, as well as to share exhibiting space and a website.

Although exhibiting as a group, each artist is on a personal journey of discovery, pursuing her own interests and goals.

Each is an individual.

The word play on 'routes' is intentional. Each artist is intent on developing routes to explore her own roots and life experiences.
