This month I will be leaving my studio to participate in artists’ workshop Popty 2015.
Popty 2015 is an art residency and workshop for twenty international artists from Southern Africa, Wales and the UK. The project brings artist together for two weeks of intensive, residential experimentation and creativity. The artists bring skills and ideas to share while working with unfamiliar materials in unfamiliar ways, prioritising process over product and ultimately working towards an Open Day to show the results of the creative experimentation. Its location is accessible to a wide audience across south west Wales and includes universities with HE and MA art faculties in Swansea, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen.
Popty 2015 workshop is open to visitors from Saturday 17th October, daily from 10am-6pm, until the Open day on Saturday 24th October.
There are two evenings of public slideshow presentations by participating artists:
Wednesday 14th October at Oriel Q Gallery in Narberth
Friday 16th October at Oriel Myrddin Gallery in Carmarthen
The project is supported by Arts Council of Wales and it is a part of Triangular Network.
