OSH NEWSLETTER - APRIL 2024

Welcome everyone to our April OSH newsletter.

 

Sorry, this is coming to you later than intended - a little holdup with getting submission forms ready for our next 2 exhibitions, links below.

Summer Open Studios

Plans are shaping up nicely for our Summer Open Studios. Just to remind you, the dates are:

 

Lewis: 25th, 26th, 27th July and 1st, 2nd, 3rd August

Harris: 1st, 2nd, 3rd August and 8th, 9th, 10th August.

 

It looks as if we will have up to 7 shared venues for those without their own studio. The Committee will be in touch with you once they are all confirmed to let you know where you will be.

Stornoway Art Walk happens in July. It fills Stornoway shop windows with lots of wonderful artwork by OSH members. This year we could have more members than shops involved, so please let us know if you want to be included by Friday 10th May at the latest.

 

Free Art Monday will be on 22nd July. Please consider donating a small piece of art, or even card/s (not obligatory of course). These are to be located in local places, with clues to their whereabouts on social media (each artist does this him/herself).

 

General Organisation

Please let us know if you are able and willing to help with some of the practicalities over the summer - e.g. delivering brochures, putting up signs etc. We really value your help!

Other OSH exhibitions

 

Our exhibition at Grinneabhat (Bragar) ‘Changing Islands’ (12th April to 6th June 2024) is now up and running, and there have already been several sales. Do visit!

And finally a few reminders...

Website - Charly

Please review your gallery on our website and let me know if you need anything changed.

Also, if you have any new images, I am happy to add a couple of extras per artist to the website.

Images can be sent via email or WhatsApp. If you send via email, a nudge on WhatsApp is useful, in case my email has hidden the message!

charlyhamlynceramics@gmail.com

Artists’ gatherings are held monthly at An Lanntair on a Friday evening (book your place with a free ticket). OSH members (or camp followers) are invited to meet for a drink and blether afterwards. We’d especially love to meet new faces! For dates see https://lanntair.com/events/event/
