Art Studio News – April 2022

Staying in touch with art… by Kiara Timm

Dear Friends,

If March kept its winter coat on, April made its entrance with its ravishing scents and a splash of warmer temperatures! While we are now welcoming Spring officially, we try to keep the spirit up, the positive vibes and  creativity going.

It must be spring!

There are different events and activities going on for you to explore and enjoy.

As always, stay well, stay positive, enjoy your reading and the Easter Holidays!

Connected – going virtual at the Venice Biennale this summer!

Meeting a LOCAL ARTIST

…BRIT LINDSTROEM

Brit Lindstroem is a Norwegian artist who has been residing on and off the island for about the past 20 years. Her love for the arts and painting in particular started in 2007 when she first came to the island of Aphrodite (Venus) and started taking classes at Nick Costa’s studio. 

Her love for colors together with her thirst to express her creativity through her paintings, has let her to explore all sorts of themes through her artworks; from nature to stormy weather, seascape scenery and beyond, Brit’s art is clearly very versatile and alive. Her source of inspiration also varies from walks in nature with its colours, local seascapes, photographs and magazines.

Brit mostly paints with acrylics but she also likes to explore with mix media.

Brit had also been a member of the Cyprus Open studios where she had participated in various art group exhibitions. She had also been showing her works at The Makers Space in Tala together with other artists recently.

Currently, she holds a studio in Chlorakas at the Artemis Studios, a space hosting different artists, where she continues to show her work.

To view more on Brit Lindstroem’s artworks, you can contact her at brit.lindstroem@gmail.com to arrange an appointment or visit her at Artemis Studios in Chlorakas, Paphos.

Creativity is contagious – pass it on!

THE MAKERS SPACE – A MEETING POINT FOR CREATIVE MINDS

In the beautiful hills of Tala, near Agios Neophytos Monastery, lies The Makers Space, a unique and creative art facility hosting membership-based studio and gallery space for artists and ceramists.

The whole concept was born about 5 years ago when its creator, Lee-Anne Raw, was in search of something with a meaning. As a ceramic maker, she was on a quest for a small studio space when she discovered the beautiful stone building close to the monastery.  It was a matter of time until she renovated and transformed it into the present incredible art facility.

The Makers Space offers a range of membership options that cater for full-time artists, serious art hobbyist as well as beginners. Currently, the space hosts a team of 20 people while it covers classes on a weekly bases for about 14-18 children.  The space also offers a series of events and exhibitions which are listed on its Facebook page.

Quoting Lee-Anne Raw… ’Arts come with a challenge… in our personal journey we need to push ourselves to find what we are capable of’.

R.I.P. Cyprus Open Studios

Yes, sad as it may be, we have come to the point where our beloved Cyprus Open Studios could no longer stay alive. The funeral will be on 31 December 2020.

October used to be the month of the year in which we flung open our doors to the public, enjoyed stimulating conversations, and explored new horizons. And that is why this post is coming to you at this time as I personally mourn the demise of all that. It has not been an easy decision!

The Cyprus Open Studios website will continue to be available to view, with all of the past participants’ information accessible in the ARCHIVE by year. This year’s participants will be added at the end of this year.

The Facebook page will also continue to exist and open to conversation.

I will personally also continue to be available for conversations about art and artists and I trust that I will see you frequently! Obviously we also have to cope with the protocols of the dreaded virus, which is another reason for this decision.

Marina Emphietzi and Nora Hadjisotiriou, my two partners, have both gone their separate ways and are pursuing their individual careers. I would like to say a GIANT thank you to them both for all the hard work that they have put into the years that we have stood side by side. I wish them both every success in the future, with whatever side of Culture they engage in.

This is then not goodbye, just au revoir – until we meet again.

Maria Etheridge.

Maria Etheridge – Founding Partner

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2018 Cyprus Open Studios event!          We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us again this year.

In order to make your “treasure hunt” as pleasant as possible, we would like to recommend that you follow these links:

1. This is the link that will take you to our page on the website where you can download our 2018 COS catalogue. Please click HERE
2. This link will take you to the READ ONLY catalogue on issuu.com (click on the address).
3. In order not to be disappointed as sometimes artists change their minds… please download the UPDATED Open Days Schedule HERE
4. Remember to look out for the banners outside each venue and directional signage to guide you in.

There are a few points we need to bring to your attention:

• This year, we are doing open studios for 10 consecutive days instead of the four weekends as in the past.
• Opening hours: 11:00 until 17:00 each day (except Limassol gallery – see note below)
• The members at each venue have elected certain days out of the 10 to be open; some have elected all ten whereas others have chosen only two or three out of the ten. PLEASE consult the individual member’s entry on the website to avoid disappointment: cyprusopenstudios.com > Members.
• If possible, we would also recommend visiting our Facebook page to see an ongoing dialogue between us and the public – it’s a fun place to read all about it: HERE

Limassol town

• A group of artists who either do not have studios or who are out of the country at present, have decided to make use of a gallery in Limassol where you will be able to see their work during the 10 days of Cyprus Open Studios.
• The gallery is called Art Studio 55 / Pegasus Foundation and is located at

23 Andreas Drousiotis Street, Plateia Heroon (Heroes Square), Limassol, Cyprus

• PLEASE NOTE that the opening hours at the gallery are different from the open studios, e.g. 18:00 until 21:00 daily between 5 and 14 October 2018.
• Some of the exhibitors will be on hand from time to time to receive you, have a chat and make you welcome.
• The gallery will be manned during opening hours each day.

We wish to take this opportunity to thank Andreas Makariou of Pegasus Art Foundation for the use of this gallery – Andreas and his son, Demetris, will both be exhibiting as members of Cyprus Open Studios 2018.

A few of last year’s open studios… they are all fun to visit!

Come and join us!

The COS Team

 

A few questions…

  to think about…

• If you create art – of any kind – why are you engaging in the process?
• Is it for the material rewards it may bring you, or is it purely to make you happy?
• If it’s for the rewards – whatever they may be – are you happy with them?
• Exactly what rewards are you looking for? Or are you looking for Awards?
• If it’s to make a decent living, you want to sell what you produce – the age old supply and demand routine. The question is: Are you serious about your art “business”?
• Are you happy with the process you use to create a bigger demand? If you are, then stop reading now.
• If you are not entirely happy and wish to improve your scope, we can most probably help.
• How?
• Read all about our process on our website: www.cyprusopenstudios.com and join us!

Each October, Cyprus Open Studios (COS) offers the public access to artists, creators and makers and gives a valuable insight into how artwork is produced. For 10 days the early autumn event is all about visiting studios, meeting artists and artisans, seeing them at work, browsing completed works and seeing work in progress, and even trying your hand at making something for yourself where workshops are offered.

?????

There is no selection process which means that anyone can have a go and build up some confidence in your home studio before branching out to bigger and greener pastures. But one thing is for sure: you will always have somewhere to create whatever it is you are creating – it’s usually called a studio or a workshop. That’s what the public wants to see, as it is fascinating!

  

Yes, this is a demo and… a studio!

Potters, painters, woodcarvers, jewellers and all kinds of creative people of all kinds of disciplines throw open the doors of their studios for an annual celebration of… ART.

Cyprus is SO much more than beaches, bars and tavernas! Let’s help the public find the hidden treasures of our beloved island – it will further help with introducing the public – including the tourists – to get to know what we are all about.

It’s always a good idea to join other artist(s) and will also alleviate costs. Who do you know in your area you could share with or who would like to share with you? How about approaching your local mukhtar and using the local school, church hall or … taverna!?

Get to know how Cyprus Open Studios operate by visiting the website, read the FAQ as well as our BLOG – that way you will be able to engage the people around you and make it a BIG event that will bring traffic to your village or town, and ultimately to your own work. Isn’t that what you want?

You need to fully buy into the Open Studios concept and not expect a lightning bolt of success immediately. Yes, it is a great deal of commitment but the outcome – although not always immediately apparent – can have many long-term benefits such as future commissions and connections which materialise over time. You meet some very interesting people and will emerge on the other side as slightly different human beings!  As an artist, it is a bit too easy to lose sight of the main goal which is to keep making new work. Part of the point of opening your work space is to showcase that you are moving forward as an artist, year after year.

TIME  SCALE

This year, Cyprus Open Studios will take a slightly different shape:  We will be opening our studio or work space doors during a consecutive 10-day period, e.g. from 5 to 14 October 2018 and you can choose any days in that period… but at least two days. We would strongly recommend including at least one weekend.

The reason for this is that, in our experience, the four weekends that we opened in the past, just stretched it out a bit too long; by the third and fourth weekends, both artists and visitors got a bit tired… By compressing the time period, we will also be able to push more resources at it and make it sparkle and shine!

ALTERNATIVE SPACE(S)

We have secured space in Limassol at ART STUDIO 55, which is provided by the Pegasus Art Foundation, from 5 to 14 October 2018 inclusive.  Please see their Facebook page here:

A small catch is that the artists who choose to use this space will have to curate the show themselves AND be in attendance for the duration of the event. You will be able to work on the spot which is exactly what we aim to offer the public: to see the artist(s) at work and to be available for conversation. The upside is that there will be no commission charged on sales! And the space is very centrally located at Hero’s Square, close to the Rialto Theatre. Further details will be provided on request should you be interested in this option.

PLEASE NOTE:   this option is NOT included on the registration page – if you would like to make use of it, please contact us at info@cyprusopenstudios.com

Finally, we can all get a bit bogged down in the advertising, communications and social media – we at COS try to make things easier for you! Remember it is the work that matters most of all. You are only as good as your last piece.

So let me finish with the words of Andy Warhol:  “Don’t think about making art, just get it done.  Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.  While they are deciding, make even more art.”

 

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2018 EVENT CLOSES ON 30 JUNE 2018!

The catalogue is prepared in July and will be ready for distribution in September.

Printers often close during August!

DON’T WAIT  –  ACT NOW!

We would LOVE to welcome you as part of our art family!

Till next time, keep on creating.

2018 – is here!

If you have not seen the flyer that went out earlier, here is an updated version:

As you will see, Cyprus Open Studios will look a little different this year.  In previous years you had a maximum of 8 days to open your studio/workspace. These were always geared for the weekends. 2018 offers you a minimum of any TWO out of 9 consecutive days, e.g. from 6 to 14 October 2018. You could, of course, open every day!

It has come to our notice that most working people who live away from the coast make a bee-line for the sea during the weekends, especially since October is still very much in season. It is mainly for this reason that we have decided to cater for inland artists during the week. We have also discovered that this is the norm for open studio events across the world. This means that you will be able to choose your dates to be open, rather than your weekends. We are confident that this will suit artists and visitors better than diluting it across the whole month. We will also be able to throw more resources at it.

The other big change is that we have decided to give participants the opportunity to recover from the Christmas mayhem and open registration on 1 March, with a closing date of 30 June 2018. You will still have 4 months in which to register, finalise artwork and plan your space before the August holidays!

And here’s another plus:  If you really, honestly, truly do not wish to open your studio/workspace/home to visitors, we offer you a reduced membership of Cyprus Open Studios. As a ‘non-participating’ member, this will give you a page on the website with up to 8 images plus your biography, artist statement and other information. This will be featured as an option on the registration page when we open on 1 March 2018.

We are now in our third year and the initial logistics problems have mainly been sorted out. Of course, when we do new things, new things have to be learned!

One of those new things is the work that we undertake on behalf of the artists who wish to participate in exhibitions abroad. This year, there are 14 who have jumped at the opportunity to simply produce their work and let “Open Galleries Abroad (OGA)” take care of everything for them, ranging from registration with each gallery, submission of work for judging, transportation of the artwork, submission of the actual work for hanging at each venue, transportation in between exhibitions and safe storage when not being exhibited.

As usual, we will attempt acceptance at the Royal Academy of Art and after that comes the exhibition at the Salon des Refusés. There is a third venue lined up, name the Hellenic Centre – all of these in London.

 

 

This is a huge learning curve as we research venues, procedures, and logistics. The person in charge of this operation is Marina Emphietzi Harris, one of the three partners of Cyprus Open Studios. One of the biggest headaches is this… 

Yes,  transportation!

Another new idea we are toying with is to use a gallery in Limassol where all the artists who do not have their own studios or who, for personal reasons wish not to open their homes to the public, may showcase their work. This will be regarded as a gallery show and not an open studio. It will also be subject to a higher fee for the participant who chooses this path and there may well be a commission charged by the gallery. This is VERY MUCH in the planning stages at this point; we will update you as soon as we know more.

You may know that www.art-en-route-cyprus.com has now been incorporated in Cyprus Open Studios. This means that the sponsor of the Prize Draw that we offer each year no longer exists. However, we are working on something even better that should attract a whole raft of interested people to visit studios in order to enter. A small hint:  3 nights (maybe 5) free accommodation on a Greek island… we are working on it! 

 

There is just one final point we need to impress upon you:  If you are able to host an artist friend of yours from abroad, this guest will not be charged a membership fee but will still be featured on the website and in the catalogue. I’m sure you have many artist friends who would love to visit you in Cyprus for a few days! Let’s show them what hospitality looks like.

If you are serious about your art, make it your business.

Till next time,

   The COS Team.

COS will occupy a vacant shop (08 on the map) where 8 members will be interacting with the public and introduce people to the world-wide open studio concept. Our beloved Cyprus is a small – but perfectly formed! –  island in the Eastern Mediterranean, far, far away from the hustle and bustle of big time art dealing in major centres of the world. For that reason we, at Cyprus Open Studios (COS), are ‘taking the mountain to Mohammed’ by creating a portal for artists to exhibit abroad.

Due to the OPEN WORKSHOPS event, the COS organisers have decided to

keep registration OPEN until 20 June 2017.

—oOo—

Cyprus Open Studios (COS) are proud to have been instrumental in introducing six Cyprus-based artists, first to the selection at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and, traditionally, on to the Salon des Refuses when not selected by the RA. The latter opened on 1 June and will close tomorrow, 4 June 2017 – we wish them all the very best of luck! Next year, we will do it all again. If you are interested, please contact us on info@cyprusopenstudios.com

Here are a few shots taken at the opening night at the Salon des Refuses exhibition:

Enormous thanks to Marina Emphietzi-Harris for her hard work in putting it all together. Without you, this would not be possible!

Till next time, keep on creating!

Excitement is Rising

As we come closer to the October event, things hot up.
Don’t simmer on the back burner – get to the fire and get hot!

We are just reaching the end of the Early Bird reduced registration fee structure and although quite a few have grabbed the opportunity, many are still simmering… However, no need to panic! As from 1 March until 30 April 2017, registration fees are exactly the same as they were last year. This is, of course, extraordinary as we are offering more than ever before!

Here at the virtual COS office we are working towards making the experience more and more exciting and this year, we have added the opportunity for professional artists to be selected for gallery exhibitions. This is a first! The attraction is the price. For a flat fee – way less than galleries usually charge – you will have the full force of Cyprus Open Studios (COS) promotional machine behind you. If you are selected, you will be listed under the separate heading of Cyprus Open Galleries on the website.

If you do not get selected by the galleries who are hosting this year, we would strongly recommend that you team up with each other or with other artists in your area to open a studio space together. If you have any questions about this process, please contact us for further details. It is an opportunity not to be missed!

Visitors to Gillian Keef’s open studio

Last month we shared a blog post from Jason Horejs, who is the Owner of Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona – here is the link in case you have missed it: http://reddotblog.com/hosting-a-successful-open-studio/

One of the points he made was this:
With more and more open studio events appearing around the country, this is a great topic. An open studio tour can be a great way to get your feet wet if you’re new to the art market, and for established artists it can be a great way to build connections directly with art buyers.

And the other point that really impressed me was this:
If you think about it, it’s almost like a treasure hunt. Participants are provided with a map and then get to plot their course from studio to studio looking for art that grabs them.
Participants also get to meet the artist. Art buyers love this! While it’s certainly possible to fall in love with a piece of art for its own sake (this happens all the time in the gallery), it adds a whole new dimension for clients when they can meet the artist.
At COS, it is our mission to make the experience of both artists and visitors one to be remembered and also to create the desire to do it again next time.

Another first for COS is that we have assisted 6 artists to register for selection at the Royal Academy of Art in London; their Summer Show is one that artists will forfeit their eye teeth for! The 6 artists are all members of Cyprus Open Studios and we will do everything in our power to make their experience as painless as possible.

The Royal Academy of Arts London

Should they not be accepted by the RA, they will automatically qualify to be exhibited at the Salon des Refuses, also in London. No mean ‘second prize’ – and yes, we at COS are assisting with that too.

One of last year’s Salon des Refuses summer shows.

There are several other opportunities abroad and when we have further information, it will be shared on our blog – follow us by adding your email address in the space to the right and you won’t miss out!

However, if you wish to participate in exhibitions abroad under the Cyprus Open Studios umbrella, you need to be a member. Don’t be shy – have a look at our website which is growing with 2017 members – and complete the registration form. Registration closes on 30 April 2017, which will be extended until 31 May 2017, but with a small penalty for late registration.

Have a look at the FAQ if you are unsure of the procedure; if you cannot find your answer there, please contact us either via the website or by email at info@cyprusopenstudios.com – we would be delighted to help.

 Best guess for this image: Henry Wallis:  The Death of Chatterton

We have often heard and read about artists toiling away in cold attics in bitter winters with no hot water and six flights of stairs under snow. Well, in this day and age there is no need to starve, or commit suicide, as an artist.

These days, what we hear a lot is: ‘I’m not really good with a computer’… Our advice is: Get better! It can only improve your chances of success if you know how to handle emails and images as there will always be people like us at COS who are ready to help you promote your art. But you need to get your skills honed not only to produce your ‘product’, but also to ‘launch’ it.

If you think we can help, send us an email… yes, that’s the way to do it!

Hosting an Open Studio

Sometimes it does help to trawl through stuff on the internet! Often I think that I’m wasting time by sitting and reading  what others have written, but more often than not, I pick up really useful tips and tricks.

This blog post came right up to scratch as we at Cyprus Open Studios have just started the on-line registration process for our second year. We are trying to learn as much as possible from others who have been there before – this one is a diamond:

http://reddotblog.com/hosting-a-successful-open-studio/  –  it was written by Xanadu Gallery owner, Jason Horejs. The gallery is in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I have tried to re-blog this post, but if you are not a WordPresser, it doesn’t seem to be possible. Again, I’m willing to learn!

Please read this article – you will immediately want to open your studio to the public! Here is the address again:
