HAPPY NEW YEAR, TIME FOR THE JANUARY SALES at CULTIVATE....

Just sent out a newsletter to the Cultivate mailing list, don's see why we can't post it here as well. Did you enter 2012 in one piece, I did it in with canvas, easel and a party, black paint as the bells rung the new year in, always like to start things in a creative way... here's the newsletter...

HAPPY NEW YEAR, TIME FOR THE JANUARY SALES at CULTIVATE....

First Cultivate Vyner Street newsletter of 2012, happy new year, hope the end of year holidays were good, thanks to everyone who's been along to our Art Is For Life show over the holiday period, we're open this Bank Holiday Monday 2nd Jan then down it all comes to make way for the January Sales and EVERYTHING MUST GO.

Opening night Thursday 5th January 2012, sale runs from... Friday 6th until Sunday 15th January....

Everything must go, a January sale and a gallery wall (and floor) consisting of those pieces us artists need to clear out in order to make room for the space needed for all the fresh creativity that must take place in the new year. A January sale of the things left behind in the gallery after the all the busy shows of 2011, along with the art that needs to be cleared out of various selected artists' studios in order to make way for the things that we are compelled to create in 2012... A sale that, just like every other January sale that's happening around about now in every high street big and small, is about the clearing out those things left, making space ready for the new clothes, the new shoes, the new art, creating the space needed to start it all again in 2012.... Everything must go, what price art anyway? Come grab a bargain in our January sale...

What price art? is the question we've been asking at Cultivate in 2011, the question we were asking with the Stinging Netil last summer, with Free Art Thursday, with the art drops and the painted vinyl left in trees, the painted cardboard left on tube trains, the painted canvas left on canal banks, that and all the questions thrown up by last September's very well received What Price Art show at Cultivate Vyner Street, as well as the end of 2011 Art Is For life show that responded to all the pop up Christmas art shops and their mulled-wine-fuelled sales, all the consumerism and the giant new East London shopping malls piled high with 'stuff' for people to buy buy buy, rush and buy,.start the sales, a time of plenty as all around us the economy crashes... These are times of plenty, make way for more, everything must go...

Everything must go, what price art anyway? Come grab a bargain in our January sale... For two weeks only, art at knock down prices, massive savings, bargains, discounts at Cultivate Vyner Street

We shall have a WHAT PRICE ART? wall, a wall full of art that follows up the 2011 What Price Art? show. A show where once again YOU the buyer will be the ones setting the price and where we the artists will not negotiate, whatever you say in terms of price, will be the price you buy the piece for, be it one penny or one million pounds...

Some ot the January sales, we open this Thursday, What price art anyway?
