GRAYSON'S ART CLUB RETURNS FOR THIRD SERIES ON CHANNEL 4

The next series will see contemporary award-winning artist, writer and broadcaster Grayson Perry return to screens from his studio. Along with his wife, the best-selling author, psychotherapist and broadcaster Philippa Perry.

The third six-episode run will see Grayson incorporate weekly themes for members of the public to submit artwork to. More details will be released in early 2022.

During lockdown Grayson’s Art Club was the best performing series from Channel 4’s #StayAtHome Academy programming, attracting over one million viewers per episode. Grayson inspired the nation to unleash their creative side during lockdown, motivating the British public to pick up their paint brushes and have a go at creating.

Grayson and Philippa Perry commented: "We’re delighted that we’re opening up the doors to our Art Club again. This show was borne out of a time where we needed art to help us make sense of the changes in our lives and find meaning from what we were collectively going through...

"In series three we’re working on a new set of themes to inspire the nation to make more art to illuminate what we now face, whatever that is, and we’re both very much looking forward to seeing what the British public will create this time around."

Shaminder Nahal, Commissioning Editor at Channel 4, added: "Grayson’s Art Club has brilliantly demonstrated how much art means to so many people, and its power to bring us together and help us in difficult times...

"We are so grateful for the thousands of incredible submissions we’ve received from talented artists across the UK. Here’s to another run and seeing how Grayson, Philippa and the team at Swan Films are able to develop the series and uncover a whole new set of powerful real-life stories."

Previous episodes are available to stream on All4.
