ETC: 'Skin' with Emma Hopkins

@ New England House
Admn: £3

Our ETC events are talks and panel discussions here at Draw Brighton where we explore the concerns of art and the body. This year our talks will explore the realities and mythologies of the unclothed body, what it means to sell our image, and how it feels to both depict the figure and be depicted ourselves.

As part of our 'Skin' season at Draw we have invited the painter Emma Hopkins to the Draw studio to talk about her process, artistic background and what separates a life drawing from an unclothed portrait. Emma's uncompromising paintings of unclothed people celebrate the human body in all its variety and her unswerving attention to the surface of skin create portraits of intensely observed humanity. We'll be starting the evening with Jake and Emma in conversation before opening the discussion up with questions from the audience.

As spaces will be limited, booking in advance is essential. To book your space visit www.draw-brighton.co.uk or email info@draw-brighton.co.uk

Stone Lithography - Weekend Printmaking Course

@ New England House
Admn: £140

During this introduction to stone lithography we will cover all the basics so you can leave with a set of editioned prints and proofs, printed on an 130 year old traditional lithographic printing press.
We will look at the work of artists Käthe Kollwitz, Paula Rego, Pablo Picasso, David Hockney and many others who have favoured stone lithography and mastered the effects within their drawing. This method of printmaking allows for an enormous range of mark making and captures detail with exquisite subtleties.

During this weekend course we will cover:

- Drawing materials and mark making
- Technical process of etching
- Paper handling
- Ink mixing
- Registration
- Set up and use of the direct litho press
- Editioning of the prints
- Removing the image and graining

There will be the opportunity to arrange a return to the studio to continue printing if you would like to.
Suitable for those with no printmaking experience and those wishing to refresh their skills. Maximum 4 participants.

Brighton Etch, Level 3, Unit 3, New England House, Brighton
Saturday & Sunday, 10am - 4pm, £140 materials included.

Models and Music: Life Drawing and Live Music

@ New England House
Admn: £10.50 (£8.50 students)

Life Drawing and Live Music
In this evening life drawing class, two life models will pose while live music plays. Bella Franks has been running pop-up art and music nights in London, Oxfordshire and Greece, for a number of years and is bringing the session to Draw for the first time. There will be moving, short and long poses with a break midway for drinks (from our pop-up bar) and the chance to socialise when the drawing class ends and music continues to play.

The musicians on the evening will be Joe Harvey-Whyte who plays pedal steel for various bands, including the Magic Numbers, and singer-songwriter Josh Flowers. There will be ambient dreamlike music to fill your ears as you draw, as well as lyrics from well-loved songs in the Draw Studio - Bon Iver, Bruce Springsteen, etc. creating the perfect soundtrack to the evening.

Bella encourages guests to find their flow at the drawing board - being inspired by the music and poses of the models, while also offering tutoring to those who need it as the sessions runs. Basic drawing materials will be provided, but please bring your own paper / sketchbooks or purchase it at the Draw shop on the evening.

To book your space, please visit our website or feel free to get in touch with Bella on bella@bellafranks.com if you have any further questions.

New Beginnings - Mixed Original Art Show

@ artrepublic
Admn: Free

As we leave 2019 behind us and celebrate the start of what will hopefully be another roaring 20s, we are hosting our final showcase of the year with the exciting and refreshing theme, ‘New Beginnings’.

The evening will be a unique opportunity to buy original artwork by a selection of our artists who have created these pieces exclusively for this private view at artrepublic gallery.

From butterflies beginning their transformation to tiny shrubs curling towards the light, see how our artists interpret new beginnings in different ways! Featuring original artwork from our leading artists such as Louise McNaught, Magnus Gjoen, Copyright, Dave Buonaguidi, Euan Roberts, Eelus, Mike Edwards, Maria Rivans and Sara Pope to name but a few!

With environmental protests dominating the news over the course of the year and a growing concern for our planet, we have been looking at the concept of sustainability at artrepublic gallery. We are proud to sell a high quality, sustainable product which can be bought for life and passed down through generations whilst retaining its value rather than some products which soon outlive their usefulness and are then destined to landfill.

We are also looking to become a fully sustainable business in the very near future and 2020 will bring the implementation of changes for the better. Our ‘New Beginnings’ show will be a nod to this commitment to sustainability and a celebration of new changes with a range of artwork that is hopeful, optimistic and joyful.

With so much waste created throughout the Christmas Season, why not give the gift of art for your loved ones this year? Or treat yourself to a new piece of artwork that celebrates the start of a new decade!

We have a team of friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand to offer fun facts about our artists with expert advice and bespoke framing options. Sign up on eventbrite to secure your place!

Small Wonders

@ Kellie Miller Arts Gallery

We understand jewellery as being small and precious yet in other art forms big is good and small seen as less. Yet often small paintings can take more time and consideration from the artists then larger pieces. This exhibition demonstrates that small is never less and can be beautiful.

This exhibition not only celebrates that good things come in small packages but marks the gallery’s 6th Birthday at Market Street. So, I hope you will be able to join us for this special occasion.
