As a way of generating some funds for the various Haitian Earthquake appeals, I’ve had a rummage and put aside 20 copies of ‘Marginalia’ (Peterloo, 2001) to sell, with all proceeds earmarked to go towards Doctors Without Borders, details here: http://doctorswithoutborders.org/index.cfm 

RRP is £7.95, but these can go at £5 each including postage, and when paying please do so through Paypal using account wayneburrows AT ntlworld DOT com : all purchases will be paid through to the appeal once the 20 are sold, or after the weekend – whichever comes earlier. It’s not a bad book (even though I say so myself) and is now out of print…plus, copies can be signed if required, or left untainted by scrawl – say which you’d prefer when buying one!

You can also, of course, go and donate directly through the Doctors Without Borders website above should you wish to send money without having one of these books forced upon you as well…

Art Quiz 6pm – 8pm  at Nottingham Contemporary

In the evening Nottingham Visual Arts like to invite you to our short 30 minute meeting about the British Art Show Fringe, which will be followed by an Art Quiz with prizes, mince pies and delicious mulled wine and winter warmers!

Condensed into palatable and frivolous art trivia, questions will range from the seminal to the downright silly, and knowing your Turner from your Turner Prize and your art from your elbow won’t necessarily mean you have the advantage. Contemporary art frippery and nuggets of local visual art knowledge will also help you gain points. (And points mean prizes!)

Anyone can form a team to take part. It’s FREE to enter – just show up on the night.

6pm – Overnight silent films on Bath Street

 See the Stille Nacht Programme curated by Annexinema and put together by Exocet projects in the Bath Street windows, adjacent to the Market. Stille Nacht is a series of silent artist film and video presented upon the window a furniture shop when night falls. The intention is to screen work in a new context that will lead to chance encounters from people who pass by the window at night, as well as those who seek to visit it on purpose.

Why is this all happening?

Nottingham City Council has been given £1.9 million to transform Sneinton Square. This involves commissioning a major new public art project and transforming the space with innovative architects Patel Taylor. Soundings Consultants want you to help shape the design for the new square, and Nottingham Visual Arts have agreed to help with this process. If you tell us what you think about the future of Sneinton Square, you could win one of many fantastic prizes at the Showcase!
