Ad Hoc Art
The purpose of this group is to encourage its members via mutual inspiration to engage in and complete art projects.
The overriding plan is that group members get together on zoom, and show their fellow members work in progress. This can be from the initial conceptual phases to completion, and, indeed, at interim stages to suit. The rationale is that, by coming together, the members will gain inspiration and motivation from their fellows. The ethos is that, as well as talking, we will be creating something,
One feature will be that members can suggest a project idea or theme; we then go away and show off our progress at a future meet. The theme can be very nebulous. The intent is to stimulate us, not to inhibit or straitjacket, and this will perhaps inspire us to do stuff outside our normal comfort zones!
The ethos is that the group is open to all, however modest they are about their talents, and for everybody to gain from our collective interaction.
