So I've been to two events in the cqaf festival so far. Dr sketchy was good fun . It could be improved by having someone who is used to facilitating life drawing advise them a bit but there were some great sketch's made of some can can dancers and a great looking man in drag. I hope all the Art society's in Northern Ireland pick up on the idea and we might see some different kinds of art going on...............................and you win jelly vodka for the best sketches so that's all appealing.
The other event I went to was Shappi Khorsandi and as previously explained she was really funny both events were packed out so it just goes to show that even in times of economic hardship there is room for innovation and people will part with money if its targeted right. I was also discussing this with someone when they were to buy an i phone ............................they were all sold out again design and a well thought out product as a result fantastic sales and everything sold out.
How does that compare to all of the tacky goods still left on the selves this new year? Shipped over from all over the world at a cost to our environment to end up in the sale bin. Is this consumerism worth it? Is there not better ways to live our lives?????
Anyway dont forget CQAF is on all January www.cqaf.com I think they have it right so long may it continue. It would be good if they spread it out to a few more venues in the Catherdral quater but its something to build on.
