| Posted: 27 Apr 2012 04:04 AM PDT Saturday 5.5.2012 Children & Families Mini Makers Secret Spaces with Clare Ridgeway
Saturday 5 May / 1 - 3pm / Free Suitable for children aged 4+ All of our Mini Maker workshops in May are inspired by Station X, our latest Project Space exhibition, which offers a multi-sensory insight into the derelict buildings of Bletchley Park. This first session will explore the notion of absence. How do we identify familiar shapes, text and patterns if their form is secret or has been altered, aged, or subtracted? During this workshop you will be asked to trace, draw, colour and create from memory and your imagination. |

Join our friendly artists who will help you and your child explore the joys of art through a range of multi-sensory activities, including painting, drawing and mark-making. For this week's sessions we'll be looking at shapes and forms. Taking inspiration from our current exhibition, have a go at creating your own 3D artwork. |
| Daniel Goodman: Recent Watercolours Posted: 26 Apr 2012 06:32 AM PDT  Avenue Gallery is pleased to welcome back recent Fine Art graduate Daniel Goodman, who will be showing a new series of watercolour paintings in the Corridor Gallery at The University of Northampton's Avenue Campus throughout May. A large part of Goodman's artistic practice is the exploration of the visceral qualities of oil paint; he produced these watercolour paintings in order to explore a different medium and to see how his painting technique would translate into watercolour. The works in this exhibition shift between abstraction and representation and through this the artist hopes to give the work a kind of tension, which is also reflected in the intensity of mark and the complexity of the compositions. Avenue Gallery will be holding an opening event for this and the Viewfinder exhibition in the Gallery itself on Tuesday 1 May from 5-8pm, to which all are welcome. The exhibition will be open to the public from 30 April to 25 May (Monday-Friday 10am-4pm closed bank holiday Monday 7 May). |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2012 06:50 AM PDT  Viewfinder brings together work by Brook & Black, Paul Coldwell, Nicholas Devison, Edward Dimsdale, Michael Evans, Jo Love and Mark Shaw, all of whom explore the nature of photographic representation within an increasingly digitised environment through a variety of print media. Formally diverse, each artist engages with ideas concerning the contingency of perception, dislocation of place, interventions and disruption of meaning. Viewfinder will run from 30 April - 25 May and is open to the public Mondays-Fridays 10am-4pm (closed bank holiday Monday 7 May). Admission is free. Avenue Gallery is located in The University of Northampton's Avenue Campus on St. George's Avenue, Northampton NN2 6JD. For more information about the exhibition please contact the Gallery on 01604 893046 or email gallery@northampton.ac.uk. |

Community arts charity Inter-Action MK needs YOU!!!

It will promote resourcefulness and demonstrate that one persons rubbish is another persons treasure.

The summer Festival/ Camp will provide professional development training for arts students through a series of volunteer opportunities for those who are interested in developing careers in community arts. This would be in the form of:
