Art for Nothing

Square Bevkov trg in Nova Gorica

on Saturday, 29 September 2007, 11 am

The BridA Art Collective from Šempas, the Art Gallery »Mestna Galerija Nova Gorica« and SGP Gorica d.d., in collaboration with the Hoxton Square Gallery (London, UK), are organizing a special art event, ART FOR NOTHING, which will take place in the Square Bevkov trg in Nova Gorica on Saturday, 29 September 2007, 11 am.

ART FOR NOTHING is the second in a series of events that the Hoxton Square Gallery is planning to put in place throughout Europe. The first of these events was held in London in June of 2007.

On the initiative of the BridA Art Collective, the next event is to be held in Slovenia at the end of September. More than 30 artists from Slovenia, Italy, Great Britain, Ireland and Germany will gather together in the Square Bevkov trg in Nova Gorica to give away their works of art free to passers-by.

The event will mark the 10th Anniversary of the Art Gallery »Mestna galerija Nova Gorica« and the 10th Anniversary of the BridA Art Collective. The construction company SGP Gorica d.d. has established its important role in the town over the past 50 years. The company's new administration board has decided to contribute to the higher quality of life in the town by supporting this event.

The organisers are donating to the town and its inhabitants this interesting project, in which artists will be creating their works in a public place, and will be giving them away to passers-by for free. (Performances, fine art, etc.)

Altogether, there will be more than 30 participating artists from 6 countries present in the Square Bevkov trg.

sows ears - carnival boar in progress

I started making the boars head for the carnival - still loads to do - in desperate need of fibre rods so i can get on with the 'dancing ' body part of the thing.
