Arc Bazaar declared a success!
The 2011 Art Bazaar was a wonderful event and visitors kept coming to the Gallery right up until Christmas. We sold more cards, artwork and gifts than ever before, which will be a boost to our funds and to those of our artists. The Gallery has undergone a revamp but is now open for business again– with artists in residence, ‘guest’ walls and lots of features to welcome visitors to this inspiring space.
The season is launched on Saturday Feb 11th with an event featuring arts and crafts for sale in the Gallery, artists working in the studio and refreshments for all. We’ll be previewing our forthcoming exhibitions and ‘Last Saturdays’ – special weekend openings on the last Saturday of every month. So do come along between 1 & 4pm to find out more about what we do and why we do it!
Art in the Park
Arc continues to work closely in partnership with Reddish Vale Country Park and our artists are finishing some mosaics which were created by pupils of 2 Primary Schools in Brinnington and Reddish.
ArcMedia is completing a branding commission for the Friends of the Park, which will provide templates for newsletters and other publicity material and a wonderful new map of the Park for the Visitors Centre.
Plans are underway for extending the trail of mosaics across the park in 2012.
