Artists, craftspeople, musicians, and any one in a creative field join us for a fantastic evening and opportunity to meet others working in a similar field while building a local network. Everyone is welcome to connect with other creatives.
Starting at 7pm we will meet and mingle till 8pm when we are honoured to have local artist Curtis Holder kindly offering us his expertise with a mini talk about finding your ‘route to self belief’ with a Q&A afterwards then a further opportunity to socialise.
https://www.curtisholder.co.uk/about
“Curtis Holder (born Leicester, 1968) is a London-based artist who works primarily in graphite and coloured pencil to create large-scale portraits and figurative works on paper.
Taking inspiration from intimate conversations with the people he draws, Holder’s multilayered pencil portraits are dynamically tender, emerging in a wayward series of febrile lines to reveal his subjects’ form, movement and emotional intent. Preliminary pencil marks remain on the paper as part of his energetic process of capturing fleeting gestures and emotions with sensitivity and raw honesty.
In 2020, Holder achieved widespread recognition by winning the prestigious Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year competition, with judges praising his work as “magical” and “startlingly new”. Since then, he has continued to garner critical acclaim and awards, including The John Ruskin Prize which he won in 2024. Holder has exhibited widely in the UK and in Paris. His work is held in private and public collections including the National Portrait Gallery, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Soho House and the National Theatre where he became the theatre’s first ever artist-in-residence in 2022.”
