Fylde Coast Art Mob's debut exhibition

Been a busy week, but our first self initiated exhibition was a success! It was pleasing to receive comments from the public up on viewing our work. I sold 2 screen prints and 2 illustrations on the open evening.
Below are photographs courtesy of Richard Oughton taken on the preview evening on Saturday 9th June.

Thinking of planning our next exhibition soon, a member of Blackpool council arts funding attended our exhibition and was suitably impressed, he's now helping to look for pop up shops and locations within the town centre that can be used. There is a real art buzz happening at the moment and we're here to spur it on!

Fylde Coast Art Mob: Exhibition Update

T

All set for the exhibition preview tomorrow evening! We've promoted the event through A2/A3 posters in local  galleries, studios, creative centres, libraries and shops. The 500 postcards were a hit and have all gone. Word of mouth is great too in Granthams, where I work. As is Facebook...

We've had photographers offering to shoot the event and a free case of wine for the open night!

Now on to writing up the labels and tags for prints (As above). And printing off small artist profile brochures.

I've chosen to exhibit 10 pieces of work, including screen prints and illustrations, all available for sale. My portfolio will be on show for people to look through and purchase smaller unmounted prints.

I'll post photographs and some of the work I'm showcasing when I'm not so rushed.
