advent art show...

later in the year i'll be curating an advent art exhibition at leftbank leeds, a beautiful old church on the outskirts of the city that fell into disuse and is now being lovingly nursed back into life as a community arts space.

the idea for the exhibition is not a huge departure from the walk-through-advent-calendar that we've done in the past, except that this is definitely an art show, and not set up as a worship event. but there will be twenty-five different bits of work there, each created by a different artist, designer or arts group, and each one relating to a different character, place or 'thing' from the advent narrative.
today i had the fourteenth contributor confirm their involvement, so it's shaping up nicely [ and now i'm confident enough to start posting about it here :-) ]

there's a bloggy thing that i've set up to plot the progress of the show and to allow folk to see how everything is developing - i have this idea that the contributing artists and art groups will be able to post images [and video even] of their work as it comes together, which will hopefully generate some interest and a bit of a communal buzz around the exhibition...

there's not much on the blog right now, but feel free to bookmark it and check back occasionally to see how things are coming together...
