Hi all
Happy 2013 - how on earth did we get here already?
Expect a flurry of emails from us in the next couple of weeks as we're hitting the ground running as it were...
A few things to expect:
A new version of the hÅb website. It's actually there at www.habarts.org - just having a few different redirect/browser issues - if you want to give us a hand you could check it out and let us know any problems (tell us what browser you are using - I know of some problems in Safari - News & Opportunities is only opening if you open a new tab!) If anyone's good at server/redirect geeky stuff then help would also be welcome!
The idea is that hÅb and habarts.org is the artist (and industry) activity - so useful info about our own development projects and other opportunities will appear here as well as an archive of past stuff. If you keep feeding us information then hopefully we can make it a genuinely useful resource!
New things include:
- a blog we will post opportunities to including a lot of what goes out on this list - (send things you want including to info@habarts.org)
- details of how to join this group - whilst we will moderate who joins, we are going to open it up a bit, so do encourage other artists you know to get in touch
- a google calendar for planning platform and other opportunities (send things you want including to info@habarts.org)
'Poolside Emergency (13 April) You've already had a reminder for the Turn call-out (turnmcr.org) - but expect a call-out for 'Poolside Emergency (http://poolside.posterous.com) very soon (hopefully next week)
We are thinking of organising and Emergency group sharing/social for late Feb or late March, either at The Yard or somewhere in Z-arts.If anyone is working on something (no or low-tech) they'd like to try out please let us knowb - ditto if there's anything you'd like to get together and chat about...
The new Word of Warning season online - Spring/Summer is a bit mega with lots of co-promotions, so it will appear in two 'waves' - Jan-April coming to you very soon indeed... As a heads-up, it all kicks off on 31 January at the The Lowry Studio with Lowri Evans's new piece and carries on 9 Jan at Z-arts with Haphazard (any remaining ideas for work please mail me asap).
Looking forward to seeing you all very soon.
Best
Tamsin
