Hello everybody. Your social center at Mare Street is back with an art school open for all!
Born from the creative needs of our residents and our friends, we are building an art studio, a darkroom and a series of workshops where you can come, learn and share your skills with everybody.
Our art studio and darkroom are being built from scrap and every help is welcome. Today we are starting to clear the space on our basement that will give place to these. If you want to help us out just show up today with good working mood and let’s all make this happen! Also we will need some materials to start working, so if you have something around that can help it would be great. Every art materials are welcome:
– Paint
– Brushes
– Canvas
– Paper
– Pencils
– Enlarger and clock for the darkroom
– Clay
– Plus everything you can imagine that we can create with!!
One of the main use to our art studio is to keep an art collective together in collaboration for various art projects. If you like to work with other people and you want to share your skill and ideas and join our collective show up to our art collective meeting next Monday at 7pm.
We are also running some workshops and skills share where everybody is welcome to help. If you have any specific skill that you would like to share you are more than welcome to come and run your own workshop! For now we already have some of them ready to go:
Monday, 4th November, 5pm – Photoshop for Beginners workshop
From next week – Observational art workshop
We are still looking for more activities to carry on, we would be happy to see every kind of workshops running here like sculpture, sewing, djing, alternative techniques, illustration and the list goes on. We are also planning some history of art lessons. If you want to join us show up to our history of art lessons meeting next Monday at 5 pm, right before the arts collective meeting.
Plus, every Wednesdays, starting from the 30th of October we will have the space open from 7 to 11 pm, we are showing an exhibition and there will be the place to meet some fellow artists and discuss your project and ideas!
