However, it is also a Christmas time visual art salon which contradicts the bitter meaning Scrooge has associated with the term. <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bah Humbug </span>represents the emergence of a fresh way of thinking, not just towards Christmas but towards breaking the art scene in Dublin during the social upheaval.<br /><br />The ethos of <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bah Humbug</span> is to provide an informal platform for emerging visual artists to sell their work at accessible prices and engage both the public and the artists in an atmospheric Christmas salon of music, tea and food. Featuring on the day is a warm & cosy ephemeral café including tea and cakes kindly donated local cafés. Special guest pianist <a href="http://www.myspace.com/albertogariglio">Alberto Gariglio</a> will be playing live music on the in-house upright old piano throughout the day.<br />Artworks spanning from drawing, illustration, photography, printing, mixed-media, stencil & graffiti art will be on sale. The selected artists encompass an exciting mix of emerging and established artists, many of whom are new to exhibiting in the distinctive Back Loft.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bah Humbug</span> is brought to life by two recent graduates from I.A.D.T. Dun Laoghaire, Áine Belton & Aoife O'Sullivan. <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bah Humbug</span> merges their artistic practice with a new curatorial role within an intensive internship programme entitled the Back Loft Creative Team at La Catedral Studios. As creative partners they are also referred to as ‘Pigeonbrain Productions’ which not only is dedicated to creating exhibitions but also to making short films. Over a time span of two months, these two enthusiastic emerging artists have painstakingly worked on organising and selecting a wide range of fresh and vibrant work guided by La Catedral’s Founder Antonella Scanu. Working as a team the two artists-curators have successfully reached their aim of gathering tasteful art works at keen prices in keeping with the festive mood.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><br />Bah Humbug will be open to the public on Sunday the 13th of December from 2pm-7pm in the Back Loft in La Catedral Studios, St. Augustine St., Dublin 8.</span><br /><br />For more information please email: <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">blcreativeteam@gmail.com</span><br /><br />You can visit these web pages for information on <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bah Humbug </span>and <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">La Catedral Studios</span><br /><a href="http://www.lacatedralstudios.org/">http://pigeonbrain-bahhumbug.blogspot.com/<br />http://www.lacatedralstudios.org</a><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bah Humbug </span>is proudly sponsored by:<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Matchabar Tea Emporium</span>, #23 Powerscourt Centre, 59 Sth William St., Dublin 2.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">The Food Gallery</span>, 85 Thomas St., Dublin 8.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Just off Francis</span>, 78 Thomas St., Dublin 8.</div><br /><div></div><div> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Pigeonbrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09185735110421062706noreply@blogger.com1
