Bideford Bay Creatives presents Artrageous! Art for under £100

Artrageous! is a new venture in Bideford in the run up to Christmas. I'd be interested to know what 'Art happenings' will be taking place in Manteo over the Holiday Season?

[Photo]Artrageous! Art for under £100 is now up and running in Bideford Town Centre. It features work by members of Bideford Bay Creatives and artwork can be viewed at Lacey's Ale and Cider House, Cafecinoplus, Froot Loop and the window of Glover, Stanbury and Co.

This follows on from the success of Culture Show, where local businesses were keen to develop their relationship with us and to continue to support local artists by offering their venues for free. In particular, Wendy Johnson, Manager of Cafecinoplus thought it was a good idea to have artwork for sale under £100 inthe run up to Christmas and so the idea was born.

Artwork is on display and is for sale from November 28th through to January 8th 2010 - except for Lacey's where work comes down on December 30th. There is also a special art and craft sale night at Lacey's on December 3rd from 5-7pm where artists will be present to chat about and sell their work. Everyone is welcome to come along and meet us and to find out more about Bideford Bay Creatives and what we do.

Have a look at http://www.bbcdevon.org/ for more information and for details about artists taking part.

Combining Manteo with Bideford

The Bideford Manteo Blog was set up in Bideford but I would like to see an equal balance each side of the pond. The image used as a banner at the top of this page shows Bideford Quay and the new Torridge Bridge. I would like this banner to be a combination print joining Manteo with Bideford. Ideally an animated gif, alternating between Manteo and Bideford would be the best with Bideford-Manteo on one image and Manteo-Bideford on the other but I haven’t worked out how to add this to the blog yet – suggestions please. If anyone from Manteo has pictures of their town that I might combine with those of Bideford please send them to me and I will attempt a combined image of the two.

Welcome to this blog

Welcome to this blog which celebrates the forthcoming twinning between Bideford and Manteo. The blog is designed to encourage the creative communities on both sides of the pond to interact, communicate with and inspire each other.

If you are a creative practitioner based in Bideford or Manteo and wish to add a post about yourself and your work, or about the creative scene where you live, please email me, Sadie Green, so I can set you up as a user of this blog @ info@experiencedevon.com
