Call for Application:
Sound Development City

APPLY NOW!
Information and application at www.sound-development-city.com

Sound Development City is a new Sound Development project which enables a close exchange between artists of various backgrounds.

In the course of summer expeditions to Berlin, London and Zurich, selected artists from the areas of music, performance and other cultural fields experience and revive urban spaces. The dernier cri is the focus of these expeditions – it allows for an independent exploration of themes and modes of expression in the perception of the three cities. The work resulting from this exploration will in part be shown in public.

Participants are chosen on the basis of their application. Deadline for applications is 27 April 2012.

If you have a good external wall for which you would be interested in receiving a mural, please email your contact information, including a brief description of your business, mission (if applicable), and location for the mural to efaulkner@insideoutca.org.

Turps Art School – A New Initiative

Peter Ashton Jones and Marcus Harvey have long held the view that an artist led painting school could flourish in a climate where there is growing disquiet about the quality of painting tuition, inadequate tutorial input and rise in tuition fees on too many established fine art courses.
