Artist Studio
justlife.art CIC
Developing creative practice for the folk of St Just, the surrounding areas of Penwith, and the wider community of Cornwall
justlife.art CIC is a friendly and inclusive, community directed, not for profit creative studio with a central focus on the rigours of seeing, representing and expressing the human form.
We provide both tutored and untutored workshops / courses / sessions at cost price which we hope are accessible to most.
It is expected that people attending get involved, help out by setting up, clearing up, taking it in turns to provide refreshments, and there are myriad of ways to help further by volunteering (the only folk currently getting paid here are the tutors and models……possibly a paid administrator/manager might be necessary down the line).
As well as aspiring towards developing a centre of excellence for working from the human form, it is anticipated that our focus will over time organically broaden out to incorporate seeing and representing other types of form as well as other forms of seeing / sensing / imagining / expressing - some of which may also involve automatic drawing, parsemage, archetype/transpersonal and possibly even art therapy. Allowing for exploration of the many facets of what it is to be a soul inhabiting the human form on this planet with all the man-made densely solidified constructs.
There will also be the need at times to consider contextualising what we are developing in relation to art history, the contemporary art world and critical art theory.
We are keen to collaborate and work with all members of the community, and particularly encourage models, tutors, directors, volunteers, and attendees with lived experience. Whether they are disabled (including mental health), part of the LGBTQIA+ community, are Black, Asian, or part of another ethnic minority group.
We believe it is important to celebrate, learn from and respect the diversity of people, their skills, minds, knowledge, experience and bodies, no matter how they identify.
