We were delighted when Lemn Sissay MBE chose our idea for Day 13 of #The JanuaryChallenge he is running with 64 Million Artists - just one of a whole month’s worth of things to get those creativity muscles going!

We asked people to simply design an #ILOVEART logo, using our template or the blankest piece of paper

We were blown away by the response and feedback.

Here are just a few

#ARTCONNECTSshow

We hoped to pick 20 winners at random in a live stream at 5pm on Thurs 14th Jan and had a few of the artists in a special studio audience.

But the interweb thingy broke so we did it on a mobile phone link and postponed the draw for the following night.

You can check it all out on the links below!

THE ART OF FESTIVALS

We’re also did a talk about what our dream festival might look like, the January Challenge of the day, which is right up our street as we have plans for a #Festival22 - read more here

We’d love your ideas for what #Festival22 could look like.

Here’s a film of a year long festival we did earlier, The #ARTCONNECTS19 Festival and how that was partly inspired by the Culture Minister, and #Collaborate20 was inspired by Nile Rodgers

And now, drum roll please …

Here are the winners selected at random to receive a T-shirt with their #ILOVEART logo design on it!  Please check your Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram messages for instructions on claiming your prize!

Kate Hunter Parker, Pearl Lucia Barcoe, Ciska van Beek, Clive Jive, Peter Wright, Terri Hart-Ellis, Jeannelise Edelsten, Jo Blackshaw, Chris Crosswell, Caz S., The Bookwitch, Fanny Weiss, Maria Wootton, Gemma Louise Walsh, Marisa Moore, Jane Mossop Padwick, Clair Anne Cutler, Linda Lines, Tina Roberts.

Congratulations to all!



ART CAMP 20

Two weeks after lock down lifted last summer, we managed to get a licence off Devon council to run a festival for 2,000 people.

#ARTCAMP20 had camping, art trail, night light trail, dancing, performances, workshops, the lot. Even Suggs joined us and told us about his cat paintings!

We love watching this film of how we ‘built a castle in the sky’ and hope you do too.

It also tells the story of how someone else’s festival inspired us to start STEAM Co.
