Where business and the arts meet, making work better together.
The Croydon Advertiser recently ran a lovely article on the We Are All Artists free art project. As a thank you, I’m taking the project to Croydon tomorrow, and will make my first art drop in the town.
I’ll be hiding a piece of elemental art which I’ve titled, Winter In The Cronx.
Here’s a short video clip showing the work as it reached its conclusion. If you’re in and around Croydon tomorrow, keep an eye out for this piece of free art.
This week I hosted the latest We Are All Artists free art workshop. The event was held at The Wallington Arms and materials were kindly supplied by Arts Network Sutton.
One of the things on offer that evening was for our guests to make an owl drawing or painting, and contribute it to the free art project. Nine of our guests kindly obliged, so I now have a parliament of beautiful owls, waiting to be hidden in the local area.
You may have spotted there are in fact ten artworks here. I made one of them which has already been given away, I’ll do a remake for the art drop. Keep an eye out for these beautiful owls over the coming days.
Some weeks I ask around on social media for a few ideas to help spark designs for the free art project. This is one of those weeks and I got some great suggestions from people – and one of the common themes was the recent changeable weather. The past few days have seen quick shifts from sun, to (sometimes heavy) showers, and back again.
After about 90 minutes, here’s what I came up with. I took a break and thought I may add more to the design – and on reflection I’ll leave it as is. I may remake it and add more next time…? This will be the next free art drop – if you live in the Wallington area – keep an eye out for it.
Update: Here is a photo of the art in place – it has now been found.
