What is happening with Muddy Arts Collective?
It has been a bit quiet for us recently. We had
that project at The Green Backyard, which I advertised
here and on myspace a bit, but didn't take
time to write up about the finished results and
show you guys the lovely photos.
So apart from that project, which I will write more on later,
we have been looking into leasing a new property in
the centre of Peterborough. It will be a creative
production space, a sound recording space, a gallery
a space for a working office and a space for presenting
workshops on poetry / art / music. Yeah! Sounds cool.
But it is taking a long time to happen. And we may need
change of use throught the planning department, which may be
a pain in the arse. It is a wonderful space, and I just want
to get in there and start doing something. But alas it seems at
present that even if we were given the keys tomorrow there would
still be weeks / months (probably the latter) until building work
was finished. So it has been frustrating, everything has been on
hold really. More news soon, and details / photos on that
Green Backyard project too!
============Coming soon!============
Watch out for news on fantastic Hallowe'en event in Peterborough.........

Muddy Arts & the Green Backyard sculpture project
artists needed in Peterborough for sculpture project
Muddy Arts is teaming up with the Green Backyard, an urban garden project in Fletton, Peterborough, and East Ex, a materials reclaimation organisation, to create 25 + sculptures for their urban garden to be shown over the August bank holiday weekend.
The weekend will also feature live painting, graffiti, workshops, music, food and other such wonderful activities.
We will be using materials from East-Ex to create the sculptures. Hence general theme of this is reuse and recyling linked in with nature
If you would to make a sculpture please contact me as soon as poss so
we can get started on registering you and sorting logistics to get the materials to you, and your work to the site. Remember that they don't have to be huge monoliths! We have approx four weeks to do this so time is of the essence!!

Glass Onion Closes
The Glass Onion has closed it's doors.
We took the decision late Monday afternoon, Monday 23rd March.
The project itself had become unworkable and to save the people involved,
the concept and the business itself it was decided to shut it as soon as
possible. It closed it's doors after Speakeasy on March 24th.
It will open for a few final shows over the next two months, notably the Speakeasy dates on April 21st and May 19th, and for the Opaque Album Launch of "Break The Circle"
on May 15th.
This means that unfortunately Jane Fletchers exhibition has been cancelled. This is a great shame, and I am trying to think of another location we could exhibit. Nothing springs to mind. (which ironically is one of the reasons we opened in the first place)
Hopefully we will be able to find somewhere for her, any ideas please let me know.
This also means that all other shows that have been booke in have been cancelled. Maybe a similar venture will open in the same space in the future, maybe it won't.
We can't really be certain at the moment.

Jane Fletcher @ The Glass Onion, Peterborough
Jane Fletcher
April 4th - May 3rd
Jane's bright and cheerful work always catches you with it's cheeky twist. From life like animals and natural scenes to graffiti and cartoon-esque images they always portray an playful take on life. A stalwart of Muddy Arts Collective for three years Jane has always pushed her own work and the collective forward. Jane doesn't just paint, however. Her handiwork is of a very high quality too, weather thats's jewlery, sculptor and decorative items or fancy-dress and costume making she always brings life to whatever material or space she is working with.
Janes recent work on canvas has been very exciting and we can't wait to see her work consolidated into one complete exhibition.

If you are an artist and would like to have an exhibition please get in touch through Myspace, spaces still available for 2009, new gallery opens in June.

Muddy Arts: Exhibitions In Peterborough
Muddy Arts continues in it's quest to bring art to Peterborough, our latest offering is described below.
:::CURRENT EXHIBITION:::
Jasmine Molloy
“Articles of Junk, Recovered from the Night-Time Thoughts of a JunkFairy”
A daydreamer recycling Peterborough’s junk. Working in; biro, paper, paint, canvas, tin foil, ink, varying strengths of glue, using objects such as bricks, scrap metal, wood, my aim as an artist is to experiment and breakdown the conventional methods of art in an attempt to remix the world, and throw it all back together again in new forms and hybrid twists. With snaps, scratches, bits, glimpses, rescued, re-claimed and re-appropriated ephemera Jasmine's actively, purposefully displaced artwork embrace all their shining and shifting flaws for a visual merry-go-round in her exciting world.....phew...should be a good show! Dec 22nd -Jan 23rd
