The Hangar Art Music Contest: The Jury's favourites

Here are some more details about the results of our competition, as well as the Jury report.

The participating artists had 8 nationalities (French, Dutch, British, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Australian and German)
They worked in 6 different techniques (mixed media, acrylic, oil, watercolours, drawing and digital).


After the deadline, the teachers had the first vote and they selected 16 artworks.

Then it was the turn of 'the public'. A total of 132 votes was cast and we received votes per mail, Instagram, via Facebook comments, blog comments and then some voted by Whatsapp, text messages and phone calls. The Hangar crowd is really living in the now 😛

And after an exciting end-race, 'Dutch Swing Collega Band' by Els Bemelmans won the public vote!
The Jury had their favourites too. Have a look below - and read their comments

Marie's favourite: 'La dame blanche' par Marie-Pierre Scarton

 

 "En rapport au thème, jolie composition en technique mixte - Harmonie et légèreté musicale !!"

Pim's favourite:  'Let the Music Dance' by Nicolette Scouten 

"A fun and original painting with a clear line and graphic style"

Marina and Josie's favourite: 'Pandemi" Opus 1 by Anna Karin Fast

 

Josie: "Because of its simple colourful beauty that really captures what music would look like if we could view it."

 
Marina: "For me this painting represents the desperate cry and chaos that is caused by the current pandemic, and music is a means to both soothe and bring structure."

Francesca's favourite: 'Summer Guitar' by Cathie van der Stel
 

"What an original way of having a guitar both on the horizon and as a horizon. It is so soft and delicate"
 

Nelly's favourite: 'Quartet Masks' by  Eliane Cuziberto

" I love the bright colours,it is a clear image and it has a good dose of humour"


Marina Teding van Berkhoudt's favourite: 'Nocturne' by Gordon Mellor

"Beautiful contrast, well executed and a clever combination of music, comforting in times of lockdown, playing inside and not allowed to go out."



And of course the public's favourite: 'Dutch Swing College Band' by Els Bemelmans

 "It captures the warm and energetic atmosphere of the scene really well."

We look very much forward to seeing these - and all the other excellent works for real - when we have our exhibition! 

The Hangar Music contest: The Free Membership Lottery

Today, at 3pm, notary Judith Veraart – witnessed by clerks Cathie van der Stel, Sue Bateman and Marina Kulik*) performed the drawing of the lottery for the free 2020/2021 Hangar membership!

 We used a sterilized Ikea bowl with thumbnails of the images of all the participants of the contest

Folded them neatly

And then Judith (who had not participated and was therefore completely unbiased) pulled out one and it was ….

‘The Piper’ by Liz Douglas

*Marina, self-proclaimed experienced video editor, switched the camera off when the draw took place and recorded afterwards. So unfortunately there is no record of the above.Luckily we have the pictures 😊

       nos distances.

HANGAR DE-CONFINEMENT : MEASURES PUT IN PLACE

The Hangar is opening the doors again from Wednesday 20 May

 It is very important that everyone respects and understands the rules - so here they are once more!                                              

-        Maximum per course: 9 participants at the same time (+ teacher).

Participants must therefore imperatively register in advance with their teacher.   

-         Mandatory space between participants / easels: 1,5M minimum.

In case of bad weather, the inside space of the Hangar can hold 9 people respecting the mandatory distance. We also have the covered space outside and the usual outside area.  No problem therefore to keep our distances.  

-           

-        Teachers will see to it that all strategic points are disinfected 3x per day (door handles, toilets, chairs, easels, taps, etc…)  Soap and hydro-alcoholic gel will be available in strategic places. (tap outside, toilets, kitchen…)   

-        Participants : each must bring their own material (paint, brushes, crayons,  support, etc..) and disinfect the easel that has been used at the end of the course..
Those with a cold or not feeling well will of course stay home..

-        It is strongly recommended to wear masks and gloves when necessary and to wash hands frequently on the outside tap and in the toilets.  Please bring your own hydro-alcoholic gel (there will also be some in the Hangar). 

-        Meal/drinks: no more meals in common. You can bring your own snack. There will be coffee/tea but the teacher is the only one allowed into the kitchen to get cups, put them in the machine, put them back in place… . 

-        The new rules will be on display in the Hangar.

-It is clear that everybody must obey these rules, to keep oneself and others safe. Each is responsible for coming and for their actions. Neither the Hangar nor the Municipality can be held responsible should a case of the virus declare itself.
