We are pleased to announce that the Greenwich Maritime Centre has a new partner: Lloyd’s Maritime Academy.

Learn from the maritime industry’s top experts and network with professionals from around the world.

Lloyd’s Maritime Academy is a highly respected name for professional development in the maritime sector. Their range of seminars, held year round, cover a range of niche topics relating to everything from the offshore industry to maritime law, environmental science and insurance. The unique approach LMA takes to learning in their seminars includes practical workshops, case studies, spotlight sessions, mock negotiations, site visits and interactive breakout sessions.

We look forward to working with Lloyd’s Maritime Academy and bringing you news and information on their range of courses. Click on the link below to see what they have lined up for the rest of 2017!

We are very happy to announce that artist Lizzie Cannon is the new Greenwich Maritime Centre Featured Artist.

Lizzie completed a B.Sc. in Geography at The University of St. Andrews, after which she re-focused her interest in human-environment interactions into her art practice. Since graduating with a BA in Textiles at Goldsmiths in 2006, Cannon has exhibited both internationally and in the UK. She was short listed for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2007, Art of the Stitch in 2009 and Jerwood Makers in 2014. Cannon engages with opportunities to work with museum collections and archives, undertaking the residency ‘Made in Bow’ with the Bow Porcelain Collection at Newham Archive (2013), collaborating with the Curator of Lichens at the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity, Natural History Museum, London (2011) and exhibiting at a ‘Behind the Scenes Event’ at the Horniman Museum, London (2009).

Lizzie will be exhibiting at the University of Greenwich later this year as part of the Featured Artist program and we will be sharing more details soon!
