Winner of the if.comedy panel prize 2007.
The first incarnation of ARTURART was a gallery in an enormous 6 storey town house on Queen Street.
Despite having no talent for painting, drawing, sculpture, pottery, or indeed anything that involves his hands, this new artist, around whom a school had already formed, was set to take his place among the greatest talents of his generation.
Previously known only as a semi-professional comedian, Arthur Smith is finally revealed his first exhibition – a major retrospective of paintings, embroideries, moments trouves and old T shirts.
Visitors to the Institute found art works by other comedians including an installation by Stewart Lee and canvas’ and sculptures by Jo Brand, Simon Munnery, Harry Hill, Tim Key, and many others.
At last art got off with comedy. ARTURART arrived.
