Life Drawing Studios
Life Drawing Studio Sessions start back on Tuesday 7 February 2012. Every Tuesday night: 5:30pm for 6pm - 8pm in the New Zealand Steel Gallery
Cost: $10 casual, Concession x10 $80 (Concession is only counted when you attend, so you don't forfeit if you skip one, however it is non refundable so you will need to attend 10 eventually)
You must enroll by sending your details to info.fact@xtra.co.nz before you attend, if you haven't done so already. Tuesday Morning sessions are run independently by a small group of students. 10am - 12pm in the Weta Workroom, behind the Franklin Arts Centre Reception. (Ask Gallery staff) Please email us at info.fact@xtra.co.nz if you would like to attend this session. Please note the starting date may be different and also the rates differ at times, due to small class sizes. The students set rates and dates amongst themselves. We will put you in contact with the organisers. Class sizes are sometimes restricted due to space constraints. Please note: Both Morning and Evening studio classes are untutored!

Feedback:
"I just wanted to say a big 'THANKS' again for organising these sessions. It's actually the perfect setup. It's accessible and affordable which means that you will get a lot more people who are really interested to learn and practice but who don't have the money (or the desire) to fork large sums of money for over-priced tutors or venues. It's the MODEL that's most important (and the standard of the models for the first two sessions have been fantastic.)"

Coming 2012:
Creative Communities Scheme
For application details please click on link below
The Creative Communities Scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities. Under the scheme, 'the arts' are broadly defined as 'all forms of creative and interpretative expression'. This includes opportunities for creative participation in theatre, music, visual arts, digital art, applied arts, arts education, Toi Maori, literary workshops, digital storytelling, and many other activities. In 2010, Creative New Zealand revised some of the criteria and assessment of the Creative Communities Scheme. If you have applied to the Creative Communities Scheme in the past you will notice some changes. Across Auckland, funding is broken into geographical areas (North, West, Central, South and Auckland-wide). Local rounds - for projects that primarily engage participant and audiences in one of the four areas: North, West, Central and South. Local rounds are available in August and February. The Auckland-wide round - for projects across two or more geographical areas eg a music workshop that happens in Flat Bush, Avondale and Muriwai. Auckland-wide round is available in August only.
