Tear Aways

Tear Aways was the final exhibition from the last cycle of the After Hours programme run by Creative Alliance with the aid of funding from the Arts Council England and The Learning and Skills Council.

The show was held at the Custard Factory, Birmingham and was open to the public from Friday 24^th November to Saturday 2^nd December 2006 and the Private View being held on Thursday 23^rd November 2006.

It was during After Hours that the members of Strange Ways first met, all being part of the ‘Off the Wall’ strand of the programme. The positive effect that participating in the After Hours programme had on all of the artists and the rewarding experience of working together on the Tear Aways show were the motivations behind the formation of the Strange Ways collective in the early part of 2007.
