About the TOMA course

The Other MA (TOMA) is an 18-month artist-run education model based in Southend-on-Sea supporting artists who have faced barriers accessing art education and the ‘art world’. TOMA was set up in 2016 to offer responsive, affordable, accessible art education to artists. It is currently the only postgraduate level art programme in Essex after all others were stopped by their host Universities. TOMA is unaccredited in the traditional sense, but provides a programme of learning that will benefit artists in the same way. We are looking for a new cohort of 12 artists to join TOMA for 2022.
