I’ve got loads information to give you all!
First of all, Lois and Helen in 2nd year are involved in an event, “BabyBoom Records vs Free For Arts Festival.” They’re putting on a series of art/music nights at The Bay Horse and have asked if the Drawing Group would like to design a flyer for them. They would also like to know if we’d be interested in doing some ‘live’ drawing on the nights. I think this could be a great opportunity for those of you who are interested.
Flyers:
* The deadline for the flyer is 31st January as the first event is on 18th February so that’s only a week to get this done.
* They want one double sided flyer making for all the nights. So a front design with title of event and back design with the listings, dates etc..
* The design has to feature the BabyBoom and Free For Arts logos. (I will send jpegs later)
If a number of us submit designs, they will choose their favorite. The ones that are not selected will be printed as A3 posters to be displayed at the venue so they will still be seen. All information eg. dates, listings, can be found on the Facebook group “BabyBoom Records vs Free For Arts Festival” but all these details need to be confirmed first. So I will send another email with the correct info plus things like size and formatting of the images once Helen has got back to me.
As for the live drawing, if any of you have any ideas, let me know. I suggest you email me if you’re interested in getting involved with any of this so I can let Lois and Helen know.
If you’ve got any questions about any of this just email or facebook me.
Other things you need to know:
I mentioned I’ve booked the Link Gallery from 15th-19th March. I would like to know how many of you are interested in exhibiting and whether you have an idea of what you’d like to do.
It has to be to do with drawing but there are lots of possibilities of what that can be. Drawing doesn’t rule out things like installation and moving image for example. Plus you don’t have to exhibit things you have made at Drawing Group sessions (as we’ve not had many of those). You can show older work or you can make some new work. The idea is to explore what drawing can be, so I’d like this exhibition to be quite broad.
Check out some of the artists I put on the blog for ideas.
Please can you tell me soon if you want to do something quite ambitious like large scale, installation etc… You will be responsible for getting your own AV equipment but I will help with setting up etc..
Work needs to be ready by Thursday 11th March at the latest and you can update me with what you’re doing in the Drawing Group sessions.
