Talk by Katarzyna Coleman

TUESDAY 16 OCTOBER
URBAN LANDSCAPE
Norfolk Contemporary Art Society has arranged a talk by Katarzyna Coleman about her work in relation particularly to Prunella Clough.
There is a strong English tradition of urban landscape from Sickert, Gilman and the Camden school, through Lowry, Kossof, Auerbach, Prunella Clough and many more. Katarzyna’s drawings are based on a passion for the industrial landscape of Great Yarmouth. She will show a number of images of her work and talk about process, influences, and aspects of this tradition which are of particular concern to her, such as rigour of observation, composition and the role of drawing.
King of Hearts, Fye Bridge Street, Norwich 7.00 pm bar for 7.30 pm talk NCAS members £2.50; non-members £4.00

Making kites at ARC's picnic

Forty winks

Instant sculpture

GREY SKIES TURNED BLUE!

A small but enthusiastic group of ARC members and supporters turned up today (June 30th) for our Postive Words Picnic!

***

In three hours, with rain threatening, we made lots of kites and flying projectiles, made an instant beach sculpture, brought along positive words or wrote 'positive words' in the sand - and Tonia provided an excellent picnic, including trifle!

***

The video I made looks good and Tonia will be posting more images here soon.

***

Huge apologies to those who turned up at the icecream van. My terrible directions! Am on a learning curve and know now how we can make a Peninsula Picnic a large and successful event - but possibly a little later next summer!

Thanks all - Rupert

Where to find the ARC: Take the South Denes Road, by car, foot, bike, pram - Great Yarmouth's Town Hall will be on your left and the river Yare on your right. Less than 800 yards down the road, you'll see Nelson's Monument on your left. Somewhere here I'll be waving a flag to let you know our exact 'picnic area.'

It's a big fun day out - for artists, children, film makers and smokers (last day before the ban).

Do, do bring 'positive' words, balloons and any little gardening sticks to make kites - string provided.

Also bring food and drink to share. Most importantly You Be There with friends, family, kids. All will be filmed. And a bird in my ear tells me we've media coverage.

ARC's Ark

This is the Ark built by members of ARC (Artists Regenerating Community in Great Yarmouth) for the opening event of Norfolk's Black History Month at St George's Theatre, Gt. Yarmouth, September 2006. Much more is planned in 2007.

WELCOME TO ARC

Welcome to the Art Regenerating Community in Great Yarmouth blogsite - ARC - local artists seeking to enhance the borough's communities through a diverse range of activities, events and exhibitions.

We are a diverse range of artists ourselves, working in a large range of media - sculpture, print, drawing, film/video, photography, new media, crafts and performance.

In establishing ourselves over the last three years we have staged exhibitions, live events and performance. Last September we built an 'Ark' outside St. George's Theatre in Great Yarmouth - a contribution to celebrate Norfolk's lively Black History Month.

ARC has big plans in 2007/8 in bringing art and people together. As they used to say on early TV, 'watch this space.' And, if you're interested, do get in contact - via 'comment' or direct rupertmallin@supanet.com
