Hello there! It's been a while but I have a few things to tell and show you if you don't mind sparing U:1 a few minutes.
SHELTERBOX
First of all, we have had some news from Shelterbox (kind of good, but also not good). Last April's charity art auction (in which we raised £735) enabled us to buy one and a half shelterboxes to be distributed to whomever needed it in the world. Well our shelterboxes have been dispatched to Pakistan to help families who have lost their homes due to extreme flooding! Again, I would like to thank all who were involved and all who bought some art - you have done good!
PREPARATION FOR MAYFAIR FESTIVAL
In preparation for our workshop and décor involvement of this May's Mayfair Festival in St Germans U:1 have been hosting weekly Cornish guising mask making workshops at the art centre at 6 o clock on Tuesdays and we hope these will continue (if we get enough interest - so please come along!) We are also welcome to suggestions for other workshops - or for anyone who would like to skill-share to come along and teach us a thing or two.
(any puppet making experts in particular).
CHARITY EXHIBITION AND AUCTION
We are at the start of organising an exhibition with the theme of 'Coast' and another charity auction (in association with Plymouth College of Art) so keep an eye out for ways to get involved. Further details to come.
TRANSITION PLYMOUTH
We are hoping to use the new 'Transition Plymouth' space to create an environmentally friendly window exhibition that you will be able to see as you whizz by on your errands. The exhibition is inspired by the people at Transition Plymouth and... U:1! You see, our previous exhibition 'Party For Your Eyes' was highly successful, but was all the way up in Bristol - so we would like to recreate it for the good people of Plymouth! Here is a video of our Bristol exhibition.
Thanks for reading!
