Private View at the Mid-Wales Arts Centre - Sunday 23rd March

 What's on at the Mid-Wales Arts Centre

Invitation time!

As I start gearing up for the next project, "New Artifices", some of the work from the 2012/13 project "Synthesis" is going to be part of a 3-artist exhibition at the Mid-Wales Arts Centre near Caersws, Powys.

The show runs from sun 23rd March to Sun 27th April, and after the gallery's winter closure, they are reopening with a private view of all 3 exhibitions on Sunday 23rd March at 3PM.

You can read all about "Synthesis" (and have a look at some work in progress) on the website at martinherbert.com. The other artists showing work:

Julie Jones responds through painting to her relationship to landscape in all its forms, from the strange urban hinterlands to weather-beaten derelicts. Her studio work aims to develop approaches to painting alluding to both a feeling specific to a moment along with references to memory of an experience over time.

Daniel Roberson paints everyday in his studio located on a sheep farm perched at the top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Dyfi Valley in Machynlleth. A lifelong painter, he returned to education as a mature student in 2006, Daniel obtained a first class degree in Fine Art from Aberystwyth University, and a Masters degree with distinction. Since completing his education, as well as exhibiting widely throughout the UK, he has been teaching life drawing and oil painting at MOMA Wales. In 2011 Daniel was shortlisted for the Welsh Artist of the Year. He would describe himself as a painter who finds inspiration equally in both the people and places that surround him and the seemingly endless possibilities of colour and mark making.

Hence, for the last week, starting today - Sunday 25th August, everything at etsy.com is HALF PRICE (woohoo!).

Enter the discount code CLOSING50 during checkout for 50% off your whole order. This is in addition to any individual item price reductions I might already have made.

Like some art ... get it cheap!!

Go to the shop ... get stuff!  Now!  (Is this working yet?)
OK ... new policy ... from today, whenever anyone adds one of my pieces to a treasury on etsy.com, I'm going to reduce that item in my shop by 10% for a week - keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter for announcements!  (Click on those links right there to follow me on FB or Twitter if you're not already doing so!).

So - if you have an etsy.com account and you'd like 10% discount on any of my work, you know what to do ... go create a treasury that includes one of my pieces and tell me about it.  It shall be announced to the world AND that piece will be discounted for a week!

Go treasure, now!

Check it out! I have seen the new show and It Is Good -


General view of the show at MoMA Wales
We went by MOMA at the Tabernacle Arts Centre in Machynlleth the other day to deliver a new DVD (now up and running - hooray!) and a piece I had to re-glaze after a mishap on the way last week (now taking up residence in the gallery window), and found that gallery technician Peter has done a great job of hanging. Amazingly he managed to get all 15 pieces into the space available and it's all looking very splendid.
 
The exhibition continues until June 6th, and there will be a private view on Saturday 18th May at midday.
