Thanks to everyone who contributed to Board 52, now up outside Studio 36. Now is the time to get out your pencils, paints etc and let’s have some fun artwork for Board 53!
Our Beckett exhibition curated by Stan Johnston finishes in a weeks time, worth seeing if you can get here, email us to arrange a time. We also have lots of new lovely blue pottery – mugs plates etc…
Thanks to everyone who came to our Hello Beckett day on Sunday! Sarah White & Philip Robinson gave a brilliant rendition of their Beckett omnibus The End is In The Beginning and Professor Laura Salisbury from Exeter University held an illuminating Q&A session beforehand. James Turner and Peter Nickol performed apt poetry and piano pieces while Mary Bramble’s children’s trail was as popular as the food and drink in Joelle’s café.
Pippa Marriott has written a great review of the day in Exeter Culture.
We had our Creative Integration day under perfect sun with Inclusive Exeter on Saturday 5 April. It was a lovely and surprising day for all who came, THANKS for coming and to all the contributors! Here’s an extract from one of many appreciative emails we got:
“Hey Veronica, huge congratulations to you and the ‘36 team for an amazing & inspirational event on Saturday. Please pass on my thanks & good wishes. It was one of the most multi-cultural & creative events I’ve seen in Exeter for many a year. A massive well done to everyone who participated & helped.
You must be so pleased & proud What a great team effort.“
Our Sketch It! exhibition with 28 contributors ran for three months and is now closed.
Update June 2025 – this space now features our Beckett inspired exhibition.
“From a title of Elsewhere it would be interesting to discover where such a word drives your thoughts, memories, vision and verse?”
That was the question posed by Veronica and the result is a published book available now from Studio 36.
Elsewhere features the artwork, poetry and prose of 33 friends of Studio 36 and Veronica herself. It can be obtained from Studio 36 during your visit for £10 or by contacting us if you would like it posted (we will add the p+p).
On Saturday we had, with Inclusive Exeter, an introductory meeting with many migrants, now known as New Exonians. The enthusiasm of getting our different cultural approaches together towards a lively and interesting exhibition in the Spring was very rewarding.
An encouraging start to 2025!
