Catalyst arts launches a summer school in Eastbourne Ben Ecclestone, co-founder of Catalyst Arts says: ‘Catalyst Arts is an educational organisation seeking to encourage a renaissance in the creative arts from a Christian viewpoint. ‘It is hosting its first Summer School in Eastbourne from 17-22 August. Workshops will take place at St Andrew's URC, Blackwater Road, Bonners Music Superstore, Revival Media (Prayer Centre), Lismore Road and St Elisabeth's, Victoria Drive.' Summer school workshops are available for all ages and include: - Visual arts - Seminars on art history and drawing, practical workshops in drawing and painting for all
levels. - Music and singing - Saxophone, drumming and singing workshops, plus
music workshops for children. - Performing arts - Drama and dance workshops for all ages.
- Writing and media - How to improve your writing, poetry and radio production.
- Crafts - A variety of workshops for the whole family: jewellery making, sewing
and quilting.
Catalyst Arts shared belief is that creation, far from being just a meaningless cosmic accident, provides both wonder and purpose, and that these can be explored through all the senses and expressed powerfully through the arts, unlike the late artist Francis Bacon, who stated: ‘I think that man now realises that he is an accident, that he is a completely futile being, that he has to play out the game without reason.' Catalyst Arts seeks to work collaboratively with individuals, groups and organisations in Eastbourne. If you'd like to get involved in this exciting new arts venture, there are plenty of opportunities: - Publicity - Could you help with distributing flyers and posters?
- Venues - Could you host workshops in your church or place of work?
- Volunteers - Could you help with setting up and running the Summer School?
- Materials - Could you provide materials, such as stationery?
- Fundraising - Could you raise funds to get the Summer School up and running?
