Art at the Weekend

Nick InviteTwo short opportunities to see Nick Archer’s new work before they are shipped to the Paris Art Fair next week!

Tomorrow – Friday 11th March from 6.30 to 8.30pm and also on Sunday 13th March between 5pm and 7pm.

Sunday’s viewing coincides with a spoken word event.  More information can be found here…

Surface Meaning continues until 27th March in House of Hastings, near Morrisons.  Its open Thurs – Sat 11 – 4.  Showing work by Jillian Eldridge, Ben Fenton, Paula MacArthur and Nikki Tompsett.  We’re pretty pleased with the way it hangs together so it’d be nice to see some friendly faces.

If you’re looking to do  some art and craft rather than looking at the stuff, there’s a lovely ‘Making Weekender of Awesomness’ at The Queens Head in Rye!

In a nutshell its a weekend of making things for the pub’s first art fair on 26-27 March!   It’s in the function room, so out of the way of the main bars and there’s plenty of room to spread out and do lots of different stuff…  Bring your own finished and unfinished artworks, materials, favourite pens and brushes, sketches, idea seeds, inspirations and anything you want to work from.  There’ll be some materials available so don’t worry if you haven’t got any projects to bring along.  Make what you like, or collaborate with …others.

There’s more info here…

I think that’s enough to be going on with!

Best wishes,

Nikki
