THE THEME
The theme for the Ealing Autumn Festival 2016 and for the exhibition is Truth and Reconciliation.
The content of the Festival programme will also reference the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death on April 23rd.
To be, or not to be: that is the question.
In my mind's eye. §§§ The apple of my eye.
PREPARING THE PROJECT
You must be available at the times listed below. We will ask you to supply written permission from your school, college or university if it is needed.
You will work alongside the artists of the 4020 Art Group in designing and painting the exhibition but they will not be your teacher, rather colleagues.
If you are working for a course, it may be very useful for you to match your work for the exhibition to work required by your course.
You will be involved in designing the exhibition and in putting it up and taking it down when it moves to a new venue (but you will not be required to transport it to the new venue). The exhibition will remain for 2-4 weeks at each library.
There will be “open days” at each library where you will be responsible for hosting the exhibition, talking about it, explaining it and leading art- and craftwork. We will discuss your commitment in detail and organise a rota among the artists and young artists.
TIME-TABLE
First meeting with the artists to be briefed about the exhibition, confirm your dates of attendance and discuss your artistic contribution.
You will have another meeting at a mutually convenient time with a representative of the Ealing Autumn Festival to discuss your Arts Award project and requirements for part of your Duke of Edinburgh Award.
You will agree times will be to paint alongside the artists. You will see and be able to discuss each other’s work. You will also begin to work out how the whole design of the exhibition will cohere.
All dates must be agreed at the outset of the project and, once agreed, will not be altered!!
Thursday 7 and 14 April 10.30-11.30am
Hanwell Community Centre
These mornings will be to finalise the design and the hanging of the exhibition.
Monday 18 April time to be confirmed
The exhibition will be put up at Ealing Central Library.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
This above all: to thine own self be true.
