Hope in Spring - what's on at Hope Hall, Hope Road, Exeter, EX2 5HT

March: April 26th - Artist Talk by Sam White on the Camera Obscura - see insert for more details. 
30 April - Costume Life Drawing 10.30 -16.30  £25 full day, £15 half day.
8 May - Hope Hall is opening its doors on Wednesday 8th May from 10.30am to 12.30pm for the Artist's Cafe.


Any artist (any level, any practice, professional or amateur) is invited.

Cost
is £2.50 and for this you will get tea/coffee/biscuits and even cake if
I get round to making one or you fancy bringing one!


The idea is just a place and time to meet other artists, talk
about work or not, collaborate on new ideas, moan about funding, bring
work you want feedback on, get tips on where to get your stuff framed or
discuss the best charity shop in Exeter - in short ANYTHING.


I hope it will happen monthly, so you don't have to come to every one, and don't be upset if you can't make this one.

PLEASE
pass this on to ANYONE  you feel would like to know about it.  If I
have missed someone off the list it is not deliberate, it's because I'm a
bit rubbish at the admin.  All artists are welcome, no booking
necessary.


Hope Hall, Hope Road, Exeter EX2 5JN.  If you put that into
Google maps or Royal Mail it should now come up with the right place! 
Hope Road is at the junction of Butts Road, Wonford St and Carlile Road
at the back of the main RD&E hospital.  There is street parking near
(pay parking) with a couple of free two hour spaces, please DO NOT park
in Hope Road.  Buses 'H' or 'D' come very close

Dartmoor Arts Project have bursaries on offer for places at our 7th annual summer school 28 July - 3 August 2013 and we particularly want to support young artists, architects and makers at the beginning of their careers.
The summer school brings together over 100 creative people for a week of intense art practice, discussion and sharing of ideas. During the week there is also a fantastic evening programme of speakers including contemporary artists, writers and thinkers. Over the last few years we have had artists join us such as Phoebe Unwin, Harrison & Wood, Susan Derges and Laura Ford, David Nash, Antony Gormley and architects Piers Taylor and Jerry Tate.
Courses on offer at the 2013 summer school include Earth arts, Animation for artists, Drawing:5 days, 5 Approaches, Painting in the landscape, Forged Metals, Stone Carving, Printmaking, Stonecarving, storytelling and documentary filmmaking. We also offer our innovative Spatial Structures course which is the only hands on design and build week which attracts young architects from around the country. Summer school students have the space to realize ambitious projects in our large workshop areas and have the chance to gain experience from others already established, practicing and exhibiting.
If you would like to know more about the courses on offer in 2013 and how to apply for a bursary please visit www.dartmoorarts.com. You may also call 01647 281295 for more information or email admin@dartmoorarts.com. Dartmoor Arts Project is an artist led organization funded by the Arts Council.
