We’re inviting artists* working in Aberdeenshire to join us for a relaxed Artists’ Social at Square Deal in Huntly. Artists’ Socials are just what they say on the tin – a chance for artists to socialise. Come along, create connections and be a part of a supportive creative community here in Aberdeenshire.
After a short break, socials are back on a bi-monthly basis. These meet ups will still have a different focus each time; this could be an informal studio visit with an artist-in-residence at Deveron Projects, a materials swap, practical knowledge-building sessions on how to access support for your practice, among many other possibilities! What we focus on each month will be led by you, and everyone who comes along, with the support of Deveron Projects.
We hope these social events will offer mutual support and networks to enrich and develop your practice, whichever form this may take.
Details for December Artists' Social
Let's celebrate the end of another year, with a festive get-together and actual social event! Coming together for the last time in 2023, we will reflect on the year that's passed, and make some plans for next year – what support do you need in 2024 to sustain your practice? Keeping it light and relaxed, we will have music, mince pies and mulled apple juice. Most of all it will be a chance to chat and get to know each other, share what we're planning and hoping 2024 will bring for our creative practices.
