As some of you may or may not know I have recently opened a brand new gallery / coffee shop in the heart of sunny Falmouth, UK called babahogs.
First floor is a fairtrade coffee shop selling Origin Coffee and lots of lovely snacks and soft drinks the second floor is our gallery exhibition space.
The idea behind this new venture is to offer free gallery space to prospective up and coming artists as well as being a social hub for many events from art competitions, open mic nights right through to knitting evenings .
This is a something of a social experiment to see if there's a place for non-profit setups such as this within the arts community.
I'm looking for artists both established and staring out to come and help support us by contributing art or time to make this a real success.
Please if you can come and get involved, theres more details and a bunch of images at the following profile sites:
This all sounds very interesting. I love the idea of non-profit art!
Im currently looking for gallerys/shops that might be interested in receiving some copies of issue 2 of Koodoo Mag to give away. Let me know if you'd be interested and i'll be able to post you some (probably around 20-30 copies). I'm loosely thinking of a Novemberish release date for it.
And thanks for volunteering for Koodoo Mag. The first few issues will just contain my own work. I enjoy creating it and it's a nice way to get to know other like-minded people like yourself. I do have plans for the mag tho, and hope that it will eventually be full of work from a variety of artists. I'll definately be contacting you when it gets to that stage.
if you'd like to see issue 1 let me know and i'll post one out.
The first few issues (probably 1-5) of the mag will be completely free. If I send you some I wouldn't be expecting any cash in return. You could give them out for free in the gallery.
I'm going to send out copies of issue 2 (when its finished) to a few galleries. There aren't that many copies of issue 1 left so im just sending them out to individuals until they run out.
I'll post you a copy of issue 1 so you can have a look and contact you again when issue 2 has been completed.
I have some artworks needing to be screen printed soon and framed ..i would love to show some work in your gallery/COFFEE establishment. If your interested aswell im bringing out a magazine/book with upcoming creative
talents ranging from ...illustration, photography,film, Production design etc there are also a few famous names.
