Get Off Your Artz planning meeting, 11th July, Grianach, 7.30pm

The Strathbungo Society wants to revive ‘Get off your Artz’ for 2011. We see it as a chance to showcase local performance and music artists in the cafes and bars around Strathbungo for a day in the autumn, and we’ll be starting our planning tomorrow night.

Niall Walker, Design and Marketing Manager of The Arches, has offered to give us his huge experience to lead us through this, but as with all our events, they are nothing without you.

We’d love to hear from you if you can sing, play solo or in a band, dance, act, teach a beginners or improvers workshop, inspire kids to try something new, or in fact do anything that can happen in our local venues. With such a range of venues, we can have kid-friendly performances and workshops in the cafes in the daytime, through to music, comedy and performance art in bars through the evening. You don’t have to commit now, but it would be great to have a list of supporters. Why not ask your friends, family, neighbours, work colleagues what they can offer too?

Lastly, we will, as ever, need help and support in organising this event. If you can spare an hour tomorrow night to help us get this off the ground, please join us in Grianach on Nithsdale Road at 7.30pm with your ideas and shape what we hope will be an amazing day to look forward to.

Hope to see you there!
