Happy New Year to you all.  I hope 2010 will be more fruitful in every way than 2009 for all of you.  If you haven’t already tried art jamming then make it one of your new year resolutions.  I will be starting up Wednesday Night Art Jams from Wednesday 27th January, up on the Killakee Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.  They will start at 7:30pm and go on til aprox 10:30 to 11pm.  All materials including the essential glass of wine will be included in the price, each person takes home their original painting on stretched canvas so they can be hung straight onto the wall in pride of place in the home or office. Guidance and instruction will be given if required.  Price €25 pp.

Its a great night to come along to on your own, make new friends, come with friends, come along for one art jam or sign up for four and get a discount.  Whatever suits you best, I hope to see you there sometime soon.

These started off as the Tuesday night art jams, but due to demand the have now been moved to Wednesday as it seems to be a date that suits more people.   For more info email me at info@artjam.ie or telephone 0860615695

Art Jam Ireland and RUA RED Art space in Tallaght (www.ruared.ie ) will be having an art jam on the evening of  Thursday 3rd September from 6:30 to 8:30pm.  This is a wonderful venue and should inspire lots of creativity!!  and an opportunity for anyone who wants to attend an art jam, and in particular to businesses in the local area to network.  Anyone can come along on their own or with friends.  The bar of the gallery will be open for the duration of the art jam.  The plan is to make this a regular First Thursday event.  The price is €35 per person.  If you are interested in attending please email info@artjam.ie to put your name down

On the evening of Thursday 9th July, Curved Street in Temple Bar was filled with easels canvases for anyone to paint, places were pre booked, and there were queues of people lining up to take the places of those that didn’t turn up.  Thankfully the rain stayed of to make this a very enjoyable event for those participating.  It was wonderful for Art Jam Ireland to be able to facilitate an outdoor event and hopefuly it will be first of many.  As you can see from the photos there is a lot of talented, creative people out there.  Passers by were stopping to have a look - one or two art jammers even got asked if their paintings were for sale!!  Have a look at the photos by clicking the linkÂ

Having an art jam at a networking event is a wonderful way to break the ice and get people talking. While most networking events are socialable events, hosting an art jam gives it a little something extra, people mingle very easily out of curiosity to see what everyone else is doing.  While one participant may think their own painting is terrible, someone else may think its fantastic.. so not only do the participants leave having made new contacts and a painting.. they may also have had an enourmous boost to their self esteem!      Art Jam Ireland recently hosted an evening for Networth Networking  www.networth.ie   which turned out to be a great evening.  There were two sessions, each for 30 people.  Food and wine was laid on in the beautifull Ballsbridge Court hotel. The first art jam session took place when people arrived.  There was a break for half an hour for the speakers and then the second group painted.  In the meantime everyone was mingling, sipping wine, having supper  and just generally having a good time.  Here are the photos:
