WELCOME TO VERNISSAGE and CONCERT: THE ENCHANTED GARDEN; July 1, 2011; 18 - 22
July 1- August 7, 2011: 20 International Artists exhibiting in a big and beautiful natural garden.
Music that caresses the soul and inspires the mind.
The meeting of two worlds. Nicky Bendix, a traditional European composer and modern spiritual improviser and Natalie Ingwersen, celtic harp player and percussionist with her roots in musical traditions from around the world.
Floating, beautiful melodies interchanging with deep drums and complex harmonies – a journey through the landscapes of ancient music traditions mixed with modern sounds and the harmonic movements of classical European music.
The focal point for the duo Lysval is the language of the Spirit – the aim is to speak to the heart and soul of the listener.

JODOIGNE - Ils ont déjà voulu exposer chez Tone Belle histoire que celle de l’artiste Tone Aanderaa. Après s’être installée dans l’ancien relais de Sainte-Marie-Geest, elle va unir sa destinée ce 11 juin à Ignace Clarysse (à l’arrière-plan). Comme une exposition est prévue dans le jardin des époux en juillet, des sculpteurs du Brabant wallon (à l’avant-plan) ont décidé dès à présent d’installer leurs œuvres dans la verdure pour le mariage.

Well, what a week it has been!
Work has been progressing well for the John O'Groats project, and the excitement is building as we get organised for a good week of painting.
On Wednesday morning we were delighted to find out we had been awarded a contract to create a permanent artwork for Invergordon. Titled Foundations, it is part of the Evolution Project which is organised by Invergordon Off The Wall. We plan to work with the local community to create interactive sculptures based on local words and stories. Below is one of the sketch proposals from our submission.
And what is with the image of the moose? Well it just got better on Wednesday evening as we discovered that we had been shortlisted as one of the four atists being considered for a permanent artwork in Edmonton, Canada! The Kingsway/Royal Alex LRT Public Art Project, commissioned by Edmonton Arts Council - a great organisation who are doing some fine work in "The City of Champions". We are delighted to be collaborating with Matt Baker on this application, and are really looking forward to the opportunity of working with him again.
