'A monthly live art show/event, inviting young creatives/designers to work with an audience, exhibit work, with live music and photographers'.
Too lightly touch on it...
...explaining further...
...Whilst living as a student, I plan to put n this monthly event, and it will not be my primary outcome. This will just benefit creatives and agencies and I want to eventually make money off it to then re-invest into the event.
The general thesis of the event is...
It's a relaxed environment to meet other designers and work with them, creating artwork on boards to live music, whether you draw, paint, cut n paste, doodle, scribble, sculpt, write...whatever.
The basic idea will be getting creative on the wall/boards in any way the designers see fit.
- Although I am putting this on to give young creatives a good opportunity to network and get recognised, (as these will be up coming creatives), I want to invite small to medium businesses/agencies for them to possibly recruit some of the young creatives.
- I will be running the event through 'Cost Plus' based pricing. This will pay for all materials I will use and need, such as pens, paint, boards, and a space to put on the event. Any money I make from the event will be put straight back into the business.
- Place is something that I think will develop in time and as the event grows more and more successful. The first 6-12 months is going to be about building a reputation for the event and then to progress into outer cities, possibly then to the UK. Examples of live drawings events that have done this are STREET WARS - !too come!
...and DOODLE BAR - http://www.thedoodlebar.com/
- Promotion in the un-literal sense is also very important in bringing in a diverse range of creatives, and so I want to use recycled stock/ethical-ecofriendly materials, this is attractive to possible new-comers to the event.
Another way of gaining this top promotion is through illustrators around Leeds and also through creative hubs in Leeds as places to promote or possibly put on my event. Thinking about this I have thought of Nation Of Shopkeepers, which is renown for it's creative happenings. Also theartmarket.
The four P's has helped me in evaluating what and how I aim to put on a drawing event. My professional and creative aims are, getting young creatives and designers involved in a monthly art event and giving them the chance of being noticed/networking with other creatives?
For example... If anyone at the event needs photographers, they can can talk and ask people for jobs and the same with anybody at the event that would need any illustrations jobs doing.
Features. Benifits.
