Well....Sign Up is Open!

Hello from your new committee!

   It’s our happy job to announce that sign up for NEOS 2012 is officially

   OPEN - you have until Saturday 14th April 2012 to complete your entry,

   send your image and payment.

   Heres the link to the sign up page...

     

   You will notice there’s a few changes and streamlining of the

   application process this year as well as the usual self-proofing.

   This is NEOS’s 9th year and its developed into Scotland’s biggest Open

   Studios event as well as being one of the biggest in the UK!

   We, the new committee wanted to stay true to the original NEOS ethos

   and for this year, focus on our strongest feature – our booklet.  As

   you all know it’s a year-round directory and comprehensive arts

   listing, enabling anyone to pick it up and be able to contact artists

   and galleries all year round.   You will see that we have tightened up

   the application criteria to ensure that this is still the case in

   2012.

   We have also streamlined our contact information – our one-stop-shop

   for all enquiries is northeastopenstudios@gmail.com

   Several committee members check this email every day and it really is

   the most efficient way to get in contact with us.

   The new committee have been working hard to get this all on track for

   you and we thought we would let you know a bit about us and be able to

   see the fabulous skills and experience NEOS gets on a voluntary basis

   from its core committee members, first up in this bulletin is our Chair

   - Morag

   NEOS Chairperson – Morag McGee

   Morag is a ceramicist who lectures at both Grays School of Art and

   Banff and Buchan College, she has taught and developed arts activities

   for schools, councils and community groups all around the North East as

   well as developing her own practice.  As well as showing in Galleries

   around the country, Morag is also involved in public arts projects and

   feels she is well placed to take NEOS forward in 2012.  Passionate,

   enthusiastic and organised.  Morag has been picking up all the NEOS

   thread these past few weeks in order to hit the ground running for

   2012.  Her motto…. “Bring it on!”

Happy Sign-Up Folks
