Good Exhibition People

Well alot has gone on since the last blog, the exhibition at Plymouth Arts Centre from the 9th to the 11th was a real success and attracted alot of attention to our collective. The work was fantastic and we all had a good time, for something that we had put together in such a short amount of time we should be very proud.

Next arts centre exhibition will be around Christmas time, so we can develop the foundations that we have laid and strive to make it even better and even more organised.

We have also been discussing a mini exhibition, which is likely to be in 45 cafe on Ebrington Street, and can hopefully go on for a couple of weeks this time. The date we have in mind is 20th of October, and there is a loose 'technology' theme. So get working and be sure to produce work that takes up less than... I don't know, a meter squared?

What do people think of this idea?

If you wish to submit work then please make an effort to turn up to meetings or at least read the minutes so that you know of any developments, and we know that you wish to show work. The more organised we can be, the more we can raise the profile of practising artists in this city, which is good for the city and of course good for the artists who are working hard wanting to show their work to the world.

We have proved that we can put on a good diverse show in a good contemporary gallery, now we have to push things even further forward. We are here and we cannot be ignored!

Watch this space...

Final Push

OK, I'll be at the Arts Centre to put up this show this afternoon. I can't wait to see how it looks when it is up! I only got back from my art trip to Brussels, Antwerp and Rotterdam yesterday, and spent the day getting my bearings back in Plymouth by finishing my paintings for the show (always a last minute kind of guy).

The opening tomorrow night is a really exciting prospect. I hope you have seen our posters all over the city, if not it doesn't matter! This is happening and it is going to be a great display of the current, constantly evolving creative scene in Plymouth.

So I hope to see you all there, and also hope that people are already starting to get excited about the 10-10-10 exhibition, which has a technology theme due to the binary date.

So please get developing some ideas!

See you all either at the meeting at 6pm tonight in the exhibition space or at the exhibition itself, the opening night being tomorrow from 6pm til 9pm, Batter Street behind Plymouth Arts Centre.
