Summer Party

Published: 13th July 2008 20:19

Seahouses - Summer Party seahouses

 

Founded in 2006 by Sue Watson and Jane Roberts, Seahouses is a group of contemporary artists building a sense of community through art.

The Group's aim is to raise awareness and understanding of a wide range of creative and artistic skills.

All are invited on Thursday 24th July - 6pm - 8pm

Delapre Abbey Walled Gardens - Seahouses are able to continue the tradition of a Summer Sculpture Exhibition in the Walled Gardens at Delapre Abbey. Community art workshops every Saturday from 5th July to September 2008 from 1pm to 3pm.

Workshops

Seahouses runs creative workshops with community groups and 'out of hours' school groups in and around Northampton. Seahouses enables workshop attendees to develop their skills in a way that promotes and encouraging expression and involvement. The contemporary art practices that the group encourages opens the door for people, young and old, who have labelled themselves as "not being any good at art".

Agency and Resources

Seahouses uniqueness lies in its ability to deliver a complete package. A package that includes planning, delivery, management, people and sourcing, or signposting to funding. In other words a 'one-stop shop' that includes access to a large range of individual artists covering all disciplines and skills.
Seahouses also acts as an agency to co-ordinate and deliver programmes and projects on behalf of clients.

Philosophy

Seahouses has a fundamental and strong belief that contemporary arts practice can bring real social benefits to people who have classified themselves as "non-artists". Some people feel they do not possess the craft skills needed to express themselves adequately. Contemporary practice does not insist on a high level of craft skills in order to make high quality expressive art work.
