About the Business
Friction Arts have been making ‘art where you live' for over 23 years. Friction listen to people, work with them and then translate their thoughts and ideas into high quality contemporary artworks which communicate to the wider world whilst remaining true to the voices of the people they originate with. These artworks may be performances, installations, interventions, publications or whatever is appropriate to the context of the project. Friction firmly believe in the transformative nature of the arts, with communities and individuals, and are committed to expanding the reach of the arts into places they have not been before.
Brief Encounter became a simple framework that connects strangers through the act of just being human together.
Walking Over Coals is our new training programme for ‘post-emerging' artists. Walking Over Coals (‘cos that's what it takes) is a group of 12 artists aged from 19-58 who we are training in the art of self-production.
