We believe that truly creative, original, skilful, deep work has yet to
be seen; work that deserves to be seen by a wider audience--work that has
the ability to change the current creative landscape. Therefore, we
decided to create a vehicle for facilitating contact between uniquely
talented artists and an international audience. Thus London International
Creative Competition (L.I.C.C.). The chosen artists will be awarded with
an exhibition in London and will be featured in the high-quality
exhibition book, distributed to international art professionals.

exhibition and what we are endeavoring to do up here in the North
West!
AAA offers artists exhibition opportunities, field trips and
workshops.
AAA is committed to
offering exhibition
opportunities for its artists throughout the year. Details of
all AAA exhibitions for 2010 and 2011 will shortly appear on the AAA
website calendar. Further information about our Spring Exhibition is
attached.
There is still time for you to join AAA and enter our next
exhibition! The Galleries at Samlesbury Hall will now accept
artwork delivered by courier and they will arrange to send your
artwork back to you by courier (at the artists cost), at the end of
the exhibition if unsold. This arrangement is between the
artist and The Galleries at Samlesbury Hall.
Publicity for the exhibition has been good and AAA have placed an
advert, publicizing the exhibition in the April issue of Lancashire
Life. We hope to have someone of note to open the
exhibition, details to be announced very, very soon!
Please ring me for an informal chat if you would like to know
more or if you would like to come and join us.

Charles Saatchi launched a website
STUART for art students and some have already sold works through it.
More than 2,000 art students have been attracted to this new website.
Charles Saatchi stated, "There is something thrilling about seeing the
work of young artists for the first time even before their school shows."
The website is called "STUART" (it stands for "student art") and it inside
Charles Saatchi's main gallery website (www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk). In
order to make the site more independent, Saatchi promised not to buy any
work from the site for at least a year. According to the Saatchi gallery,
interest in STUART has been so high that its Web site crashed this week
after attracting more than six million hits in one day. |
