Creatives Meetup - Weekend Brunch - 30 September

Fantastic to see the powerful pieces by @reginaengelart on show at @coworkinglasabliere - the space compliments the sculptures and paintings beautifully! Love to see how the art, design and construction collide:) Thank you all for a lovely private view evening. #scultpure #contemporaryart #architexture #space #place #materials #movementandemotions #reginaengel

Open Art… Working on a little side project at the moment - launching a new Open Art Spaces weekend in our home town of Hossegor, here in France! Artists work spaces are such magical environments… And we’ve loved coordinating many Open Studios festivals over the years. It’s super, flinging open the doors to creativity and celebrating the quality and quantity of artistic talents in an area… With a chance to connect directly, to see processes and get to know artists and their work on a deeper level, it’s really an opportunity for new personal connections and discoveries. #artiststudio #openart #openartstudio #meettheartist #culturalprogramme #makeartaccessible @parcpedeberthossegor @parc_pedebert @hossegor

Bringing joy to unexpected places ! Just LOVE seeing art outside of traditional exhibition spaces, how it can transform an environment and lift people’s mood. Interestingly, art in public spaces such as hotels is often where it becomes most loved and appreciated... We first encountered @studio.drift at the Tower Bridge CitizenM Hotel, London, back in February 2018, and have delighted in following their journey and work ever since… Very much Looking forward to seeing their beautiful Shy Lights again soon in London, now as part of the ‘When Form Comes Alive’ exhibition @hayward.gallery 💫 #happythursday #thursdaythrowback #arteverywhere #publicart #shylights #citizenM #artsconsultant #artinstallation #culturalprogramme

“Is art truly art if no one is there to witness it?” At the core of our work lies the deep significance of people — their reactions, interactions, and experiences within a space and the natural world around us. While art encompasses various material and visual elements, its essence ultimately resides in human emotions and connections. This essence resonates deeply with the concept of ‘place,’ where shared stories intertwine with cultural experiences. In every project, we prioritize the vital role of people—be it the artists themselves or the audience—whose collective narratives bring vitality and meaning to the visual. They breathe life into our initiatives, shaping each one into a dynamic celebration of expression and connection. These captivating shots captured by photographer @ilanbenattar serve as a beautiful reminder of the inherent connection between architecture, nature, and people—or the absence thereof. #peopleandplaces #placemaking #artsconsultant #contemporaryart #abandonnedplaces #architecturephotography #artphotography #artandnature

Brightening up a grey Monday with a look back at our past project on Merchants Way, London… 2250 participants, 45 days of activity, 29 local artists and arts organisations commissioned, 7 festival partners, 4 seasons, 3 alcoves, 1 interesting space! Every client, space or venue is different and requires a different approach to engaging the public with culture. For this pathway between the new Nine Elms tube station and @marketflowers we created a nature focused seasonal calendar of arts activities around a strategy which looked to create, test, and incubate. Utilising the small alcove spaces in the beautiful hoarding designed by @anna_nicolo, we developed a bright, fun and accessible programme. We worked with a hyper local group of creatives to delivered a mix of changing installations, dance and music performances, printmaking workshops, planting and flower arranging, mosaic making, ceramics and literature. Very much something for everyone! 💫 #culturalprogramming #publicart #creativecollaboration #communityengagement #arteverywhere #artforeveryone

Lots of discussions lately with clients, colleagues and artists around digital art... What are it’s advantages, it’s disadvantages, longevity, accessibility, is it ‘real’ art? A highlight from my recent London exhibition visits was definitely #EchoesoftheEarth @refikanadol show @serpentineuk. An extraordinary blend of nature, technology and creativity, and an immersive free ‘digital art’ experience not to miss. 🌍💙🩵 Have you visited? #digitalart #publicart #curator #culture #artandnature #environmentart #dataart

Little look at a few of Christophe Mabillon’s stunning pine tree pieces… Created using Chinese Ink, these original drawings really capture the local signature vegetation and their trademark silhouettes. Congratulations @cmabhossegor on a beautiful exhibition and thank you @golfhossegor @golfclub_restaurant_hossegor for trusting us to deliver the first artworks to be shown in your beautiful space. What an honour! It’s been an absolute pleasure and look forward to more projects together in the future. 💫 #art #artinpublicplaces #artinspiration #artconsultant #curator #leslandes

Did you hear the news…? The much-loved alternative garden festival @thechelseafringe will not be happening this May:( Understanderably, after 12 years, the team have decided it’s time to finish up - or at least take a break - in 2024. They’ll be sorely missed but new adventures await. More info on the website www.chelseafringe.com I feel so proud and privileged to have been part of the volunteer festival team since back in 2012, and grateful for all the fantastic people and places I encountered along the way. Run by an incredibly generous, creative and talented group of people, from all walks of life, the festival annually bought together activities which highlighted so many topics close to my heart. From art and health, to food and performance, greening and the environment, the Chelsea Fringe encompassed it all, and in such a beautifully accessible, friendly, and fun way. Even the coordination meetings were a joy to attend! Thank you to Tim Richardson and co for trusting me to coordinate and curate some amazing projects in incredible London spaces, giving me the chance to work alongside fantastic landowners, designers and community groups. I do hope we can all meet again, hopefully in a beautiful green space, soon 💚 📸 A few of the #chelseafringe projets we delivered over the years… 1. @batterseapwrstn @exterior_architecture #popuppark 2013 2. #Tinytaxonomy by @jardinsdemetis #belgravesquare @thisisgrosvenor 2014 3. #FloatingForest by @nippaysage next to @tomdixonstudio at #PortobelloDock 2012 4. @e33dance on #Merchantsway next to @marketflowers 2022 5. @elephantparklondon 2018 #chelseafringe #alternativegardenfestival #landscapearchitecture #artinthepublicrealm #publicart #curator #portobellodock creativeproducer #grateful #newadventures

Feeling blue💙 My first visit to Le Musée d’Art Contemporaine in Bordeaux and the Kapwani Kiwanga exhibition for their 50th anniversary in October has most definitely been a highlight of 2023 … It was simply stunning. Incredible to have such serenity and mesmerising calm on this scale. I could have stayed immersed in the space for hours. Channeling some of this tranquility into this week! @capcmusee @kapwanikiwanga #capc #contemporaryart #bordeaux #bordeauxculture #kapwaniKiwanga #retenue #exhibition #meditation #artasmeditation #tranquility #mesmerizing #immersiveexperience #immersiveinstallation #januarybluesdrawingchallenge

La semaine dernière, j’ai visité les merveilleux studios et espace de travail de @kontainer_40.

Evening beach fun with the family 😆 🐠 🏖

An absolute pleasure to visit @cmabhossegor in his studio today. I love to see where an artist works, and to hear their stories of how they’ve come to be where they are, creating the works they do… Christophe has a fascinating background as a sculptor, and is the recipient of the prestigious’ ‘Chevalier de l’orde des arts et des lettres’ award 🥇. An extremely accomplished and talented artist, his practice nowadays focuses more on 2D work, with a variety of style and materials… Check out all his available pieces online at ArtPal.com @cmabhossegor #artist #sculptor #contemporaryart #surfer #architecture #surfboardart #artiststudio #atelier #artiste #hossegor #leslandes #jamesbondstyle

Hi there! Thought I should introduce myself properly on here… 🇫🇷 Salut! J'ai pensé qu'il fallait que je me présente ici... I’m Lucy, founder and director of Pocket Creatives - an arts consultancy, artist agency and creative network. 🇫🇷Je suis Lucy, fondatrice et directrice de Pocket Creatives - un cabinet de conseil en arts, une agence d'artistes et un réseau créatif. I’ve worked in arts event management since 2007 and set up Pocket in London over 10 years ago, running my own arts festivals and creative programming and producing for freelance clients - PR companies, property developers, and charities. 🇫🇷Je travaille dans la gestion d'événements artistiques depuis 2007 et j'ai créé Pocket à Londres il y a plus de 10 ans, gérant mes propres festivals d'art et programmant et produisant des créations pour des clients indépendants - sociétés de relations publiques, promoteurs immobiliers et organisations caritatives. Fast forward to today and I’ve recently made the move to SW France with my family. I’m still consulting for UK clients and am very excited to be working with artists and spaces in Les Landes. 🇫🇷Avance jusqu'à aujourd'hui et j'ai récemment déménagé dans le sud-ouest de la France avec ma famille.

Did you know it’s Creativity Well-being Week…? Well, you do now! Check out it for events near you… @londonartsandhealth A lot of conversations have been happening during Mental Health Awareness month around the part creativity and nature have to play in our generally well-being... You don’t have to be ‘good at art’ to be creative - dancing, gardening, cooking, writing are all ways of expressing yourself - just go for it:) If this stuff is close to your heart you might be interested in doing a Mental Health First Aid course run by arts organisations like @art4spacecommunity.
