Grand Unveiling of our Board!

On Saturday 18th July at 11am Veronica unveiled our ‘Get On Board’ display outside Studio 36.

Thirty-two works are now on show, all produced under lockdown by the community of Newtown & St Leonard’s, Exeter.

In the Get On Board! project Studio 36 invited local residents, young and old, to unlock their thoughts, feelings and observations by sharing artwork, photos, poems, stories and more.

Many passers by have already seen it. Do take a look if you’re in the area! An exhibition is planned for later in the year and we are still accepting submissions for future months.

36 Contributions to House Lights On!

In this time of lockdown we received a series of illuminating contributions from friends of Studio 36 who engage with our mailing list.

Appropriately 36 people featured on our mailings over a 15 week period from 10th April to 23rd July 2020. Work submitted included artwork, poetry and prose.

This work will in due course be archived in its entirety and will appear on this website and in a future exhibition.

A Marmite Lamp appears at Studio 36!

In these gloomy days maybe a bit of fun? A large marmite jigsaw puzzle finished in the late hours, too good to be dismantled, is achieving a new identity here.

A combined operation by Studio 36 friends consisted of a packet of sliced bread toasted and photographed, a hunk of wood with holes drilled for an electric wire to be inserted, put on legs by a visiting woodworker, and electrics engineered by a resident artist, and a fringe on the shade by his embroiderer wife, and it is just about ready to light up a somewhat confused melancholy?

What was happening at Studio 36

Budding Friends at Studio 36

Studio 36 was looking lively at the start of 2020.

Budding Friends from Age UK, fresh from their recent show at the Boatyard Bakery and Café on Exeter Quay were back for their creative mondays at the studio, busily and enthusiastically creating artwork. In June they celebrate their fifth anniversary.

And following on from our successful Mind Flight (2019), Patterns (2017) and Why Not, What If? (2015) productions at St Sidwell’s Centre, plans for our next performance Out Of Context forged ahead.

An eclectic team of poets, musicians, songwriters, artists and a sailor/boatbuider had its first meeting.
