Matt Small Project. Calling ALL Artists., by romanywg on Aug 1, 2008 21:31:05 GMT 1, The london arts project is a little idea Matt Small and FPR came up with after too many bevvies one Summers evening a few months ago. The idea was to create a project that encourages art among disadvantaged or vulnerable young people. They've opened the remit to allow anyone of any age to come that has been referred to them from their statuary or charity partners. At the moment they are working on a project called 'Hope in Life' which combines urbans styles art with music production, encouraging future poets and visual engineers to be born. They are backed by a lovely London charity called the single homeless project who provide the workshop space and will be picking up the bill that Matt has been paying for out of his pocket. They try to ensure there are an equal balance of 'apprentice artists' to professional ones and work whenever we can with recycled or free materials. All the work that gets produced by everyone will be displayed at shows throughout the year, we really want to make sure there is always something people are working towards, with a little silent auction for the works created to help pay for new materials and days out to promote the enjoyment of other art forms for people that would not otherwise get the chance.
If there are any artists that would like to come down for an afternoon, who can be a positive role model and hold the swear words in until the pub afterwords with the core artists, they would love you to come down and join in and make your mark. Just drop FPR (You know where) a line first. The project is based on Holloway road, London and is possibly the best thing that ever happened in Holloway road. They've already had some great artists so far leave their tag.
For those that are not artists worry not, Romanywg is recording the birth of this new project and we have been lucky enough to be offered our first exhibition at the Black Rat Press for our first show choreographed by Matt Small - 'Hope in Life', which i think is billed for around October/September time which you will all be invited too.
And here is their first piece of press news....

Not quite correct about the Camden New Journal piece being the first bit of press news on the project. I interviewed Matt and wrote a piece in Art of England about a month ago which came out about 2 weeks ago in the August issue. Sorry no online link to it as yet, but it has some nice pics and my golden words of course. Have free copies in the gallery.
