Open weekend - Irvine Harbourside's Cultural Festival
Fingers crossed for a bit of good weather this weekend …not, as usual, because we want to go walking, but because this is the weekend of Irvine’s first Harbourside Cultural Festival. It should be a good couple of days as the organisers have arranged quite a lot of events at venues along the harbour …but a bit of sun would help bring people out and down to the Harbourside. Anyway, for full details visit the North Ayrshire Library & Information Service website: www.ers.north-ayrshire.gov.uk/whaslikeus.cfm
Irvine Harbourside's Cultural Festival - Open weekend - Courtyard Studios
As part of the larger event, 8 or 9 of the artists, me included, are holding an informal ‘Open Studios’ weekend. For my part I’d thought I’d just open my doors and leave my studio as it normally is …giving folk an idea of how I work. Then I started to think about it, and decided I ought to put up a new selection of work and so spent all yesterday moving paintings and benches …..and today I’ll actually try and tidy the tops of the benches! It’s not quite ‘the working studio experience’ but it’s not just a studio exhibition either. Anyway, if you’re living in the region, why not come down and see for yourself.
Courtyard Studios will be open
Saturday 2nd June,11am – 5pm
Sunday 3rd June, 12 noon – 5pm
Entry as usual is free.
