Fine Artistes more detailspublicity

The Studio in the Street the strangelings - bramble FM

 

The Fine Artistes set up their art studio in and around a gazebo. It is both a theatrical set and a working studio, with the artists playing the roles of tutors. The audience takes part in a still-life drawing class and their finished work is “hung” around the studio for passers-by to enjoy.

 

Artists in the Window

Shop or office windows become artists’ studios as up to 3 very different schools of art vie for the attention and approval of onlookers. The subject matter can be inspired by the location, the town’s history, or even the products sold in the shop. Every so often the artists emerge onto the street to engage in artistic arguments with each other and the onlookers.
