Whew! Nearly there - Vivi-Mari's exhibition opening tomorrow!

"Contemplating the Nature of Triumph" : Handmade collage : Copyright © 2011 by Vivi-Mari Carpelan

Well, we actually find ourselves in the position (almost) of having a free day, since yesterday we more our less finished all the preparations for putting up Vivi-Mari's exhibition at the Art Cafe in Llandrindod Wells. One would think, having done all this many times before, that it would just be a matter of chucking a few pictures in the car and hanging them on a wall, but there are always things that need framing, frames that need swapping, labels to make, cards to pack up, wrapping materials to get out of the loft, artist's statements to write, plus all the frantic attempts to actually make sure people know about the opening, which reminds me ...

In case it has slipped your mind,  you're invited to the private view of:

"Mindful"

An exhibition of handmade collages by

Vivi-Mari Carpelan

Join us for a glass of wine (tea, coffee & cakes on sale at the cafe), lounge on the comfy sofas, view the art and browse exciting crafts by local makers.

Friday 12th April 2013, 5PM

at the Art Cafe - Mid Powys Mind
Crescent Chambers, South Crescent, Llandrindod Wells, Powys LD1 5DH

Tel. 01597 82 44 11

The exhibition continues from Tuesday 16th April to Fri 24th of May 2013.

The Art Cafe is set in a delightful restored Victorian terraced house close to the centre of town and across the crescent from the Metropole Hotel. All the cafe's cakes are home-made and highly recommended, and the shop stocks a variety of crafts from local professional artisans. We look forward to seeing you there!

Please note: 25% of all sales go to Mid-Powys Mind (Reg. Charity No. 702833) - Mid Powys Mind is a local charity affiliated to Mind, running services in Radnorshire and North Brecknock that offers advice and support to those who may have mental distress. Mind also works to raise the public awareness and understanding of issues relating to mental health.

So, we look forward to seeing you there :-) Meanwhile, to avoid confusion, I haven't even started bombarding people with plugs for my own exhibition starting later in the month, but just in case you want to make a date in your diary, it opens on the 29th April in Machynlleth, and there will be a private view on 18th May - more details later.

Now, the last thing - just thought I'd better mention there are only 5 days left to contribute to the crowd funding campaign at indiegogo.com/wowlookwhatigot, so best get yourself along there now and check out all the lovely perks on offer... I do believe I'll be writing a little about that shortly.

P.S...

Spring is nearly here - honest! My exhibition is really
an attempt at pleasing the weather Gods so please come along and celebrate!
See you there, Vivi-Mari
