Hello studio holders, as you would have read in Carmel's email I am plant guardian for the communal plants at Haarlem 🌱🙂🌱

I've begun today and it would be great if anyone has any size plastic pots and saucers, ceramic plant pots/planters (without holes) going spare that you are happy to donate. If so, leave them on the wooden table on the ground floor. Thanks so much, Karen 💚

Applying for the Wirksworth Festival Artists Trail?

Applying for the Wirksworth Festival Artists Trail?

# data[].attributes.body
The deadline for applying for the arts trail, is I think, April 30th.
Being at the end/start of the bus route we have had a busy participation in the past- plenty of footfall by interested parties.
The trail will be on the weekend of the 10th and 11th of September.
I'll be applying soon, but just wanted to flag up the opportunity to put Haarlem on the map as a centre for art, design and related endeavours - so don't miss the boat, exhibiting in your own studio space is the cheapest of available options. You need to apply to get your profile , literally on the map. Peter - 3rd floor

APRIL MONTHLY UPDATE EMAIL

Hello fellow Studio Holders!

It’s Carmel here (my space is on the 2nd floor, by the kitchen – the one with the big colourful armchair). I’m going to be sending round a monthly update with studio news from the Studio Coordinators - Milly and Bear - and from the executive team (Catherine, Livvy and Bev). Catherine will still be sending out her lovely newsletter on a seasonal basis.

This update will mostly be boring and practical things about the studio. This is because we now have PADLET for all the other more exciting things! (as you will know if you are reading this on padlet...)

You can find Padlet is here: https://padlet.com/haarlemartspace/haarlemartspacecommunity

For those of you, like me, who are unfamiliar with it, you use it like a notice board. It is super easy. All you do is click on the + and type (or add pictures and other things if you are some kind of tech genius). It can be used to share anything, just like a whatsapp group, but it looks nicer and the info is easier to keep track of. You don’t need to log in or register or do anything complicated unless you really want to.

Padlet will hopefully provide a good place to share ideas and to get some social things happening for the studio community. Use it to share news, social things, ideas, work and anything you like. E.g. I’m making pea soup today/ does anyone fancy a pint/ I have a piece of string, a dead mouse and a dirty mug in my studio if anyone wants them…

So, on with the updates:

Today is the last day to express interest in the writers studio space on the 2nd floor. Contact M&B (millyandbear@haarlemartspace.co.uk)

Good news! The directors have secured us some funding and a newly converted communal kitchen space is on the way! Let M&B know if you have any ideas about this space. There will also be enough money for some minor maintenance jobs, so get in touch with suggestions about this too and they’ll add them to the wish list.

Goodbye to Rose, Beth, Angus, Arthur and Richard. It has been lovely to hang with you and good luck in all your adventures to come!

Cleaning! (I told you this was going to be boring…) Please help keep Haarlem nice by taking the bins out when they are full and keeping communal areas clean. Recycling needs to go home with you and bin bags and cleaning materials are stocked in the ground floor entrance toilet/ utility area. M&B are also planning to make utility areas on the other two floors.

Mice. Traps are sadly being put down in the ground floor. Bear has the glamorous job of checking them each day. Traps may have to be moved into peoples spaces. Not fun, but hopefully something we can get sorted…

SOUP! COMMUNAL SOUP! Any flavour, any maker, and any day at 1pm. If you want to make soup for the masses please pop a message on padlet (and/or whatsapp). My sources tell me that a bid is currently in with the Arts Council for our very own handheld Haarlem blender. Last time I checked we had a big saucepan and a ladle and a few herbs and spices in the cupboard – please feel free to add to the soup store!

Karen has offered to be the studio plant guardian. She will be watering and taking care of all the studio greenery. Thanks Karen!

CALL FOR INVIGILATORS!
Haarlem still needs invigilators for the May exhibition. It will be running May 7 till June 5. There are am and pm slots.
Please contact Catherine or Livvy with interest and preferred dates.

That’s all for now, but CHECK OUT PADLET! There's info on upcoming workshops and exhibition and lots of other good stuff on there - and please do add to it!

Hopefully see you all around the studio and beyond soon!

Carmel xx
