This month’s event is the opportunity to sign up for a workshop which will be for 5 or 6 people. The workshop is being subsidised by the network and is open to BMN members only. This workshop will help you to make good images of your artwork for digital cataloguing, open calls, media presentation etc, using natural and artificial lighting techniques and an easy understanding of image resolution.
No photographic experience is necessary. We will be using a mixture of personal mobile phones and Elizabeth’s digital cameras to make the images.

She has over 20 years of experience teaching photography workshops in galleries, schools and for independent projects and has worked with organisations such as The National Portrait Gallery, Towner Art Gallery, Photoworks Brighton, Victoria and Albert Museum London and independent organisations such as Farley Farm, home of photographer Lee Miller.

COMING UP
Watercycle
June 20th 2024 (time tbc)
Horsey Sewer
Eastbourne
Waterweek artists Charlotte Still and Clare Whistler invite Blue Monkey to join them on a walk along the Horsey Sewer with their new project ‘Watercycle’ a mobile pop-up water hub with guest interventions along the way.
For several years, artists Clare Whistler and Charlotte Still have been following an organic process of where being with and thinking about water will take them. A water wandering; inquisitive, interactive, immersive, reflective, poetic, experiential, unexpected, spontaneous and flowing. On the way, they have constantly looked for ways to share their experience and convey their rapidly growing concerns and reverence for water.

Controversial Art and Artists
Thursday July 18
6.00-8.00pm
VOLT gallery
Eastbourne
A Blue Monkey Conversation is on the horizon for our July event: Controversial Art and Artists.
Why do people shun some artists’ work based on personal lives or behaviour but not others? What contributes to this inconsistency of judgment? Look forward to lively discussion punctuated with examples past and present.
