Making Space Public Art Event 2011
This is an experimental art project, by organizing this event we are creating networks of local business, artists, art groups and other organizations. This network plays a fundamental role in developing an art community in the midlands. We challenge the feelings of isolation felt by artists living in small towns and rural areas. We are creating an alternative place for contemporary art other then the typically city epicenters of art. We offer artists the opportunity to show case their work in the town and give the public a chance to participate in this art event.
Our next Event will take place on Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th May 2011 at Athlones Civic Centre Square. The work of participating contemporary visual artists will be showcased. In doing this we are integrating the town council building into the space, and using it as a canvas for artwork. There will also be a covered area with seating to act as a social hub, where the public can meet the artists, and local artists will give talks about their work or organization. Types of artwork may be film, photography, sound, installation, sculpture and other mediums. Weekend of events include artist talks, performances, film screenings, digital installations and sound performances.
