MONTH 25 TRANSITION

Hola Art Clubbers!

Thank you Laura Grogan for kick starting the theme this month! We are going with 'Transition' and hope you will join in!

Submissions due 28th March. As usual, any creative outcome/activity is the intention - so hopefully this theme inspires something and you feel like sharing! Email your submissions to Chris or myself.

With love,

about 'Around the Kitchen Table'

EVERY MONTH A NEW PROJECT...

One night around a kitchen table (and after a few red wines), a few friends were talking about how they were always more creative when they had a project and a deadline to work towards. Life is so busy, and we don't always make the time to be creative - and being creative is so important!

The friends felt the same way and looking around the table on this evening, I was amazed at how many creative people were there that night: singer/songwriters, photographers, graphic artists and a trained sculptor. After lots of excited discussion the group at the table all said they felt the same and we decided to set a monthly creative project. Around the Kitchen Table (also known as 'Art Club')was born there and then!

It's very simple...every month there is a new project/theme and everyone creates something relating to the theme by interperating it in their own unique way. A new theme is posted each month then at the end of the month we share what we have created.

You don't need to stick to you normal field of creativity, for example if you are normally a painter you might want to make a short animation, or if you are normally a photographer you might enjoy writing a poem, and so on.

It's really simple, free and hopefully fun for everyone involved! No one will tell you off if you miss a month...I promise.

The project is open to anyone that is interested - so please spread the word - the more the merrier!
