I wondered if you might be interested in our current project for inclusion in taglines. We would be delighted if you felt able to include something about our association and current project. We are an association based in Caylus. Here is a little information about us:
Le Bouton Rouge is an association created in France by Kathryn Humphries and Ankie de Jager. The aim of our association is to promote mutual understanding and appreciation of the different cultures who live together here through creative activities and events.
12 x 12 Project
Le Bouton Rouge sent people in a variety of countries an invitation to participate in the creation of a small work using a square of material which measured just 12cm by 12cm. The choice of technique, approach and image was left entirely open to enable each person to respond in their own way. The only criteria was that the finished piece must measure approximately 12cm by 12cm.
We have now received more than 250 completed squares which will be exhibited from the 11th of August to the 25th August at the Studio de L'Olm in Caylus. We will also be holding further exhibitions in other galleries later in the year.
The pieces are all completely original. Sometimes amusing, sometimes touching, often very artistic and thoughtful. Each square shows something very personal about the person who made it as do the little stories which accompany them.
From the date of the Private View, images of a selection of pieces will be available for sale in the form of postcards. All the proceeds from the sale of these cards will be donated to a project to support women in India in becoming more self-sufficient by creating their own small business.
Kath and Ankie will be at the gallery throughout the exhibition in Caylus and would be delighted to welcome you to the exhibition. You will see work from people here in France, in Scotland , in England, Israel, Holland, Australia and the USA.
The Private View (by invitation) will take place on Saturday 10th August at the Gallery Studio de L'Olm in Caylus (near the church)
The exhibition opens on Sunday the 11th August until the 25th August. Mondays to Fridays from 10am onwards and Sundays from 2pm onwards.For more information about us please visit:
