Junction - Festival of Contemporary Arts

A short blog to tell you about the forthcoming festival in Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton, celebrating the wonderful creativity around that area with art and music. I'm thrilled to be a part of the curatorial team with Claire and Margot, curating 21 artists (possibly 23) over 14 diverse venues. The training I had when co-curating b-ART-er A contemporary Art Exhibition in an empty shop is certainly helping here.
The venues range from cafes, restaurants, pubs, to the Tattoo Palace, Harley Davidson shop and garage and Banks Brewery with site specific work throughout the brewery tour. It's exciting, check out the website

WORKS Part II - painting the EAGLE by Tim Stock and Joe Welden 25 June 2011

The conclusion of the project by reinstating the EAGLE. The building is now truly visible from the town centre and Wolverhampton's artery ring road. The artists studios and gallery are now firmly on the map, and will continue to be so until the regeneration work commences.
The Eagleworks artists have expressed their thanks to Tim Stock and Joe Welden for their kind gift.
