Exhibition Opportunity

See http://guerrillagallery.wordpress.com/ for more details
This is a D-Air poroject

D-AiR (Dundee Artists in Residence) profiles the work of Dundee-based artists, celebrates Dundee as a city of culture and creativity, and fosters links between artists and the wider community.
We provide a web presence for individual artists, promote arts events in Dundee, and facilitate a programme of artist residencies throughout the city.
We also seek to cultivate dialogue and exchange between Dundee-based artists and a wide variety of arts organisations throughout Scotland.
As a social sculpture we are committed to dialogue and inclusion, the better to foster cultural self-awareness and artistic excellence.
But a city is more than a place in space, it is a drama in time.

WE NEED A CATALOG

HELLO ALL
Over the past few days I have been lurking round like a creep through the degree shows down here and if I have spied one thing is that we need a CLASS CATALOG to have on offer during degree show. I think this would be a very useful thing to spend fundraising money on.
We should also think about generating a snappy title for our class, it will just make things far more memorable for the people that come and view it.
I managed to get my hands on quite a few different ones and I'll look into the costs etc.
Perhaps if the class isn't enthused about this idea, the peeepz that are thinking New Designers would want to do this? HMMMMM...
Hope you are all having a delightful summer!

Proposed workshop idea

As we all discussed there seems to be a lot of people interested in pattern cutting and dress making.

I wondered if this interest extended to garment alteration. I saw this and thought it could be really good fun to try out Click>>>>  Great changes in clothing use
Hi,

To keep this blog fresh I wonder if anyone fancied meeting up to discuss what we think about this years degree show. I thought it might be nice to pick out a few of our favourites and write up a few things. Maybe sharing what we were most inspired by in terms of prestentation, techniques or concepts. We could maybe even speak to the 4th years for a few words of wisdom that they'd like to pass onto us. I'm sure they wouldn't mind us taking a few pictures.

Would anyone be up for meeting up this week for a look around and a chat.

I propose Friday because I'm off work that day.

Could you please comment to say if you'd be up for this or not

Call for help

Hi Aimee, Hi Lorri
I'm the creative lead on the Industry Night Catwalk Event and wondered if you guys (+ 1 other) would be interested in helping backstage at the event (pretty please?!) We used 4th years for last year's event but because of the split venue that wouldn't work this time around. Which is where you come in...!

If you are able to help, these are the dates and times we'd need you!
Wed 19 May: 5.45 - 7.30pm
Thurs 20 May: 7-9pm
(Both at level 4, the Union)

If you guys are unable to help, would you be able to round up 3 of your classmates instead? That would be very much appreciated - and good practice for next year?! I am also approaching 3rd year Jewellery & Metalwork to make up the rest of the backstage crew).  

One final request - please could you get back to me if you can help out ASAP, ideally by the end of the day. The guys who did it last year were fab and really enjoyed it, it's a bit crazy but a total high so can totally recommend it!

speak soon!
:)Tara
