Jarvis investigates whether art is for the great unwashed and Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry explains why he thought he'd get thrown out of his first solo exhibition.

Jarvis investigates whether art is for the great unwashed.

At his first solo exhibition for a national institution, Turner Prize winning artist Grayson Perry stood in a corner waiting for someone to tap him on the shoulder and tell him to leave. The idea that culture wasn't 'for the likes of him' somehow bequeathed to him by his working class family.

Is art for everyone? From the tower blocks to the estate, do the great unwashed exclude themselves from the arts by taking pride in knowing their place somehow?

Join Jarvis Cocker and Grayson Perry as they talk culture across the classes on this weeks Sunday Service.
