Rolf ...   View Printable Version 

"Does anyone agree with me that it is about time Rolf Harris received a knighthood? As a man in his mid 40's, I remember Rolf's many series well and his enthusiasm for painting remains as great as it ever was.

He has done more for art in the UK in the last 3 years, with his Rolf on Art series, than someone like Brian Sewell would ever achieve. It is us, painters and artists, that need to put his name forward and help him get what he thoroughly deseves."

This campaign, launched by Nick on the Mini Gallery Forum, has the full backing of Artists & Makers! Find out more at the Mini Gallery Forum

Who Inspires?   View Printable Version 
What: At some point in our life, we often meet someone who comes to have a profound influence on us. Whether directly or indirectly, this person can inspire, teach, nurture; and whether they are part of our life for a few minutes or 50 years, we know that life will never be the same again.

Details: Artist seeks photographs of a person who has played such a role in your life as well as a brief description of how this person has influenced you to be featured in a current exhibition.

RCA Secret Postcards   View Printable Version 
RCA Secret, the annual postcard sale at the Royal College of Art is celebrating 10 years of fundraising for its Fine Art students. The College wants to make this year�s sale bigger and better than ever and would like to hear from any practising artists or designers who would like to donate postcards for the event.

The secret of the sale is that the identity of the artist isn�t known until it�s been bought and the signature is revealed on the back, all cards are priced at �35 each. This unique event is one of the biggest contemporary art exhibitions in the world but in miniature format. It opens for viewing at the Royal College of Art from 21 to 27 November, with sale days on 28 and 29 November.

Life Drawing   View Printable Version 
Want to brush up on your drawing skills? Saturday Morning Pictures is an informal group, where artists, makers, designers and illustrators of all standards meet and study from life models. This provides a rare opportunity to do some life drawing in a relaxed atmosphere, whether just for pleasure or as part of your professional development.
Arts in Health Opportunity   View Printable Version 
Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust is offering 4 artists the opportunity to take part in an intensive training and induction programme before going on to deliver mentored residency projects at the hospital.

The project is particularly aimed at artists who may have already gained valuable experience within education or community settings and wish to learn how to transfer this to healthcare contexts.

Studio Spaces Available Soon?   View Printable Version 
Worthing�s most active arts groups are planning new studios for artists in the town � and they hope to have them open by the end of the summer.

The studios, based in a small block of garages in Heene Road, will house up to six artists, and would be jointly managed by local arts groups RAG and SusArt. �We did hope to have the studios running during the Art Trail, as part of the Worthing Arts Festival in July,� said Brenda Brooks from SusArt, �but although our plans have been held up, we still hope to give artists a home in Worthing this summer.�

Worthing Borough Council are currently considering an application for small changes to the existing building. �We are confident that this low-key development can only have a positive effect on the surrounding area,� said RAG spokesman Dan Thompson, �and that planners will look at examples, like the Tate in St Ives, to see how contemporary arts can play an important role in a local community.�

SusArt will have information about the studios at their next arts fair, which takes place at the Norfolk Centre, Arundel on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June. RAG will also show the plans at the Worthing Fringe Together exhibition at Field Place, on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July.
