Hangar Café Culture with Valentine

Not a lot of you were able to attend the latest Café Culture, with our youngest and newest 'Mixed Media' teacher Valentine. unfortunately, because she gave an enthusiastic and vibrant talk about her creative experiences in life, through travel, adventure and serendipity. Which then led to an impressive production of Murals in countries like India and Nepal, but also to other brilliant artworks.

The attendees thoroughly enjoyed it all and I do hope Valentine is willing to do another version later in the year! She used time-lapse videos to take us with her in her mural-painting world, and showed the creation of big canvases with beautiful animals. One word - OK, three: worth every minute. You missed something! Here are the pictures:

Musical Painting! February 10th, Mixed Media Class

Musical Painting!

February 10th, Mixed Media Class with Valentine Costes

Friday mornings 9:30am to 12pm

Today we did a "Musical Painting Class", by listening to different music we have different emotions, feelings, thoughts going on... our painting is changing depending on the rhythm and energy of the music... helps also to get more easily to our right brain, in the creative process.

There are many different techniques as inks or spray paint that let ourselves be more random with our paintings. It's also quite interesting to observe ourselves during the process because painting is a wonderful reflection of our current state of mind..!

We definitely felt, more than ever, how important it was to do a right brain exercise at the beginning of each class!

With this exercise it's also a nice way to learn new techniques and be more creative, without having something in mind and just let ourselves enjoy the process of creating!

To participate in the next Musical Painting sessions & Mixed Media Classes, email me to :

lesateliersdevalentine@protonmail.com

I will add you to the WhatsApp group to have all the info for each class.

The Hangar Expo "Inspirations Américaines" is now open!

First of all - a big thank you to the board of the Hangar! They made this happen. The Hangar is active, 'out there' and successful in all respects because of Sylvie, Imme, Celina and Thecla. They work so hard to get things done (yes, with wonderful volunteers & the teachers). Super, and much appreciated by all the members!!

It showed, on the Saturday morning. The vernissage, offered by the mairie, started at 12h30 and despite the parking difficulties of almost everyone, it was chock full of people!

There were so many visitors, the artists themselves obviously, almost all teachers, the board - yet most in numbers were the interested people from Valbonne and environs.

The comments I picked up were very positive!
Visitors mentioned the quality, of the artwork and also of the (renovated) Salle St Esprit. They also commented on the talent of the Hangar artists, how colourful and uplifting it was, and how original!

Others were 'proud of us', 'happily surprised' and 'amazed by the variation'. I talked to several visitors who were interested in becoming a member of such an international creative community.

During the official opening, we listened to good -and concise- speeches of the maire, M. Cesaro and our president Sylvie Morlière. And then it was time for beautiful pizza and pisaladière and wine

It was a very good Official Opening - that is over now, but the artwork stays, until Sunday 12 February. You can come in anytime between 11am and 6pm, every day except Monday, see and enjoy all that excellent artwork for yourself and meet the artists...
