At the moment, painter Michael Clulee is looking to drum up support for a Birmingham Art Jam. What is that you ask, well in Michael’s words:
“Essentially an Artjam is an event where artists come together to produce work based on a theme within a 48 hour time slot. The work has to be completed and exhibited on site. Sound recording and filming can be done off site with editing done in the space if needed to.
The aim is to exhibit a wide range of creative abilities and mediums from different people with a focus on Birmingham’s creatives from those who are in education to those who are established artists already.”
At present he is mainly looking for organisers, admin types and those looking to actually get things off the ground. They’ve already had their first meeting (just yesterday at Saint Caffe), so it is still in its early stages. If you wish to get involved then either head over to the IdeasTap ArtJam Birmingham page or chat with Michael over twitter.
Looks to be a great event and a good chance for lots of Birmingham’s creative types to get together.
