Between SEAS and Sky

An exhibition of work from the members of SEAS.
Artist Kate Baker approached Myles Corley, the Gallery Director, about the possibility of SEAS artists exhibiting for the first time at Linden Hall Studio. With the ever increasing growth of artists and galleries within Deal it seemed only natural we should exhibit local art in one of the most respected galleries within the South East.
Linden Hall Studio is a wonderful open space over two floors and we are very excited to be given this opportunity.

Dover Studio Collective celebrates Fête de l’estampe

A collective of Dover-based artists and their guests are opening up their studio building to the public again, presenting both complete and in-progress print-based work across their active workspaces. The event, part of the sixth Fête de l’estampe festival, will bring together contemporary print and artists’ books and aims to present an expansive view / idea of what print can be. All are welcome to visit this free studio event and no pre-booking is required.

Saturday/samedi 26/5: 11.00-17.00h
Sunday/dimanche 27/5: 11.00-17.00h

Une collection d’artistes basés à Douvres et leurs invités ouvrent les portes de leurs ateliers au public. Ils présenteront des œuvres imprimées – complètes ou en cours – dans le cadre de leurs espaces de travail individuels ainsi que dans une exposition collective dans leur espace d’exposition. L’événement réunira l’impression contemporaine et des livres d’artistes avec l’intention de présenter une vision / idée expansive des possibilités de l’impression. Tous sont invités à visiter cet événement gratuit, et la réservation n’est pas nécessaire.

La Fête de l’estampe

Devenue au fil des années un succès, c’est un rendez-vous annuel à ne pas manquer. La Fête de l’estampe permet à un large public de découvrir dans une ambiance chaleureuse la richesse de ce moyen d’expression qui comprend la gravure, la lithographie, la sérigraphie ou encore les procédés numériques. Des expositions, des performances, des visites d’ateliers, stages, démonstrations, portes ouvertes, cours, conférences, ventes aux enchères, kakémonos géants, etc. sont organisés dans toute la France et même au-delà, en Europe, le jour de la Fête de l’estampe, autour du 26 mai 2018. La Fête de l’estampe 2018 reçoit le soutien du ministère de la Culture et de la Communication.

Over the years, the success of this festival has made it an unmissable event in the cultural calendar. With the support of the French ministry of Culture, La Fête de l’estampe provides a festive opportunity for many to discover this rich art that includes lithography, engraving, serigraphy, artists’ books and even digital prints. Exhibitions, outdoor studios, training sessions, open studios, conferences, performances, auctions, and giant prints are organised in France and in many other countries in Europe on 26th May, 2018, for one day, or longer in some areas.

Reflections on the Landscape: Against the Tide

24/25 February 2018 10 – 6pm
River Garage Studios, River Street, River, Kent CT17 0RB

Reflections on the Landscape: Against the tide will be the inaugural exhibition held at the recently opened River Garage Studios. The exhibition will show work from nine artists based in Dover.
Each artist voluntarily submitted work to be included in the exhibition. The only criteria for their selection was that they lived and worked in Dover and the surrounding area. As a result their work has been influenced by the unique visual and cultural history of the town.
Dover is moulded by its tide, a place always bringing in new life and ideas, as well as a place shaped and defined by its history. It is a town as relevant today as it has ever been.
Through bringing these artists together we can reflect on the influence of place and environment on their work; whether economic, cultural, visual or ecological.

Exhibiting artists:
Kate Beaugie – Joseph Black – Drew Burrett – Samuel Capell – Paul Dagys –
Benjamin Hunt – Joanna Jones – Clare Smith – Mike Tedder

Curated by Joseph Black and Louise Webb
Free entry.

Chris Birbeck exhibiting at Florum

A date for your diary. SEAS artist Chris Birbeck will be exhibiting with Florum again. This time it’s much closer to Deal. Beautiful art and garden. #florumartists

Take part in SEAS Open Studios 2018

SEAS Open Studios/ Art Trail is run almost concurrently with the Deal Festival of Music and Arts, during which time artists welcome the public to view their work over two compulsory weekends;
Sat 30th June – Sun 1st July and concluding on Sat 7th – Sun 8th July 2018.
We will again be hiring the Astor and have the Angling Club available too, if artists feel they’d like to be more central or, for a variety of reasons, can’t open their studio. This year we are again optionally incorporating additional events to our Open Studios (see section D and F) so please fill in appropriately.
The artists who organise Open Studios operate in an unpaid and voluntary capacity. The smooth running of the event therefore relies on all the artists taking part in helping us.

Please find below the application form for SEAS OPEN STUDIOS for 30th June-1st July AND 7th July-8th July 2018. I’m sending it now as design of the brochure is time dependent and the form has been altered in light of the core meeting held on 15/1 and so all relevant payment dates and event information can be found on the form. Any further questions please ask at the members meeting on 19/1/2018

If you do not wish to participate in OS this year, but would be happy to help with promotion and distribution of leaflets or any other aspect please let us know either at the members meeting on this Fri evening or before.
