I got a feeling I would really enjoy a night on the lash with you......not sure where it would all end up though.. Lets do it, I think we should make sure we do the drinking AFTER any show we go to though....My credit card nearly took a big spanking the other night....only Mrs Rhodesy saved me from myself....

Post by misteraitch on Mar 16, 2008 17:58:03 GMT
Sounds like a plan ;D
Here's a little more info about the show on the 1st May that Guy and I will be attending
NOT A PENNY OFF THE PAY, NOT A SECOND ON THE DAY
A group urban art show celebrating International Workers Day (May Day) Produced by Steal from Work 1st May – 12th May 2008. Bristol, UK
The show runs from 1st May to 12th May 2008 inclusively (this actually echo’s the UK’s first ever general strike in 1926). There won’t be a preview show, or any private sales before hand, just the madness of an opening night on the 1st.
Get your drinking boots on people - this is going to be messy ;D

I got an oil on canvas - untitled It's a shame i could'nt get to the preview as there would have been more to choose from but i love the one i brought so it does'nt really matter .There were lots of sketches left unsold,strange though that they were more expensive than theismaller canvases !Alison said that they would be showing larger works at the aaf iin Bristol ln may.

isn;t the bristol show in the job centre or something? or the old job cenre?? errr... i ***think*** if you search google maps for: 'st johns steep, bristol' thats pretty much ballpark where it is. If it is there, theres an enormous premier travelinn right nearby, and loads of hotels within a few minutes walk, as well as a few official guy denning foruim meeting points.

The Bristol AAF is in the Commenwealth museum, just next to Temple Meads Railway Station... St Johns Steep is just around the corner from where the 12 days of xmas show was held. 2 shows in two weeks! better start saving. Welcome Sacked. Lets see a picture of the canvas you bought!

Hi there sacked and a very warm welcome to the forum. Congrats on your Denning canvas. Look forward to seeing some photos if you post them. Thanks for the info about the AFF in May.

Hi top canvas is signed and dated on back but reciept does say 'oil on canvas no.03'.Alison is posting on a validation document so maybe its on there .I see there's two shows in may ,but i can only make the aaf,does anybody have details about whats happening at the other show ?

Post by misteraitch on Mar 18, 2008 13:37:27 GMT
Briefly it's a bit like the 12 Days of Xmas show but without as many artists - around 30 I think
I've got some additional info but it's on my home machine - I'll post it when I get home this evening.
