Shared Creation Magazine

If you have an interest in Artist books then you should consider visiting the Turner House Gallery in Penarth on Saturday the 15th November.

The event puts you in touch with Artists creating hand made books, monographs, magazines and ‘zines.

This looks to be a nice event where you look at Artist books, hopefully buy some, talk to the artists and have a nice cup of coffee (Turner House Gallery does make good coffee).

If you like Horror films then you want to visit Aberystwyth between November the 12th and 16th as this beautiful coastal town playing host to the Abertoir horror festival. Located in the Aberstwyth Arts Centre Abertoir looks like being a packed event. I’ve been looking at the web site and there is a great schedule of events planned. Including (and this is the one that caught my eye) a short Horror film competition with a £500 first prize. Abertoir isn’t just about celebrating horror - it wants to bring on the next generation of horror writers and film makers.

If this has wetted your appetite take a look at: http://www.abertoir.co.uk/

And yes - I like the name - horror should have a sense of humour

Meet 100 artists as they exhibit work in their homes and studios.

It’s a nice idea and here’s how it works. Between 28th and 30th of November 2008 100 artists at a number of private addresses in Bristol. For two days you can visit and view their works. Its a great concept - one that gets artists and public all interacting. Its also a good chance to explore Bristol.

This is the second year of the Arts Trail.

It’s nearly time for  the 9th Swansea Animation Day; due to be held this year between November 24th and 28th. This year SAND will continue highlight the use of CGI the world. Looking at everything from Innovative Film Making to computer games.

The price of a conference pass is also pretty good, making Sand very accessible.
