It has been a really difficult time for artists, (whether painters, sculptors, or any of the other creative arts) since the start of the Covid pandemic. Exhibitions and craft fairs have been cancelled and there is uncertainty about what will go ahead in 2021. Many exhibitions are moving online so on this page we will try and update you, the reader, with opportunities for exhibitions that will take place over the next few months, whether they are online or live events. We will be pleased to receive notifications of any that you know of.
The Great Big Art Exhibition (information taken from BBC website)
The Great Big Art Exhibition has been launched by Sir Antony Gormley, who is asking people to make an artwork at home and put in their window or garden.
The Angel of the North sculptor said the ambition was to create a country-wide show of imagination and optimism, inspired by the rainbow images people made to celebrate the NHS and keyworkers during the first lockdown.
Details of how to take part, including a free activity pack, are available from arts organisation FirstSite.
"At a time when all the theatres and galleries are shut it is wonderful to somehow tap into the extraordinary reservoirs of creativity in the country and celebrate the diversity of range and thought and feelings that exist," Sir Antony said.
He has suggested animals as the theme for the first two weeks of The Great Big Art Exhibition.
"We want to let the inner animal out," he said. "People will find their inner animal… it could be a whale or a dinosaur".
