Meeting the Artist

24th off April.
Me and Jessica reached out to six amazing artist. We did quiet a lot off research about who to  approach. We wanted a mash off diverse art, art that we would want to have in our house...art that made us warm inside.
And again we wanted to get the message out that Art doesn't always need a list.
Art is everything and everywhere!
We invited:


Zoe Stekkel, Designer at H&M
Henk Loorbach, Super Electric Video, Makes video's with different techniques
Alljan Moehamad, Illustrator and photographer
Jelske Peterson (petersonstoop.com)
Jarah Stoop, shoe and bag designer
HobsonChant, international artists


Check them out and be astounded!


We invited these artist for a drink so we coud present our concept UNION and see if they where interested to collaborate with us.
UNION includes a silent auction. We want to lower the doorstep for art buyers and show them that art is everything and available for every one.
To get our message out there we decided to lower the price of the art and make it accessible for anybody.
We are MADLY starting our auction at  €20,00 !!!
This sounds RIDICULOUS we know...but why not?
With this statement we prove that artist want to encourage everyone in a purchase! These peices usually dont sell under 1000 euro, we are writing history!


I was terrified before the meeting, bubbles in my stomach, butterflies in my brain......  i felt like it was my birthday and i was scared that nobody would turn up, there i sat with my cake and a circle off empty chairs around me..scared of what would or what wouldn't happen.
The artist started to arrive and i was acting in a Bree van der kamp (desperate house wife's) sort off way, making sure everything went the way it should, and everyone had drinks and snacks!
Our presentation went well.
The respons off the artist was incredible, they where all very excited about UNION! It was a wonderful get together with positive energy.
The artist where so exited that they where thinking about original art pieces!! One of a kind...just for UNION!
I couldn't be more happy, lets all unify!
So we have six artist :) yay!!!!!
Next stop Theater.....Lets Go... reach out to FRINGE!


Update:
We are proud to present our recently joined artist  Bob Stel  http://www.crabsalad.nl/
