Our First Submission!

So,  we have our first submission. This drawing, entitled "Wasp", is by Daniel Howes. I hope we'll soon have many more like it!

Start Your Art!

Thank you to all of you who've recently promised us art submissions! We're looking forward to receiving them soon.

There's plenty of time at the moment (well, a month!) to get started and draw, paint, doodle, photograph, write, knit or sew your way into Papergirl Cardiff's heart!

Don't forget, all artwork must be analogue - we can't accept any emailed or otherwise digital submissions - so please post or hand in your work to any of the addresses listed here on the blog.

Also, please be sensitive - we don't know who is going to see or receive your work, so nothing alarming or risqué please!

Papergirl Cardiff evening on Wednesday 4th of May

ThinkARK will be hosting a PapergirlCDF evening on Wednesday May 4th at 7pm upstairs in Cardiff Arts Institute. If you are interested in getting involved with the project, want to find out more about submitting artwork or want to volunteer as a distributor then come along!

We will also be bringing along some pens and paper for anyone who feels like doing a bit of on-the-spot artwork or wants to come up with ideas for a submission.

Please come along, share your ideas about the project and get involved!

We are now on Facebook!

That's right, you can now follow us on Facebook. Just use the button on the right hand side of this page and you will be directed straight there.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in the project via Twitter and other sources, we are really looking forward to our first submissions. I've nearly finished one!

We are also still hunting for a venue for our exhibition. If anyone has any bright ideas, that wouldn't cost anything, please get in touch via papergirlcardiff@gmail.com.

New Information for Submissions.

In order to keep all pieces to a manageable size for delivery by bike, we have decided that the maximum size is A2. Hope that's not put a spanner in the works for anyone! Furthermore, we'd like to ask people to let us know via e-mail, to papergirlcardiff@gmail.com, when they have submitted any pieces. This will help us to ensure prompt collection and also prevent any work going missing. When you do submit work, please also ensure your name and a contact e-mail or number is enclosed with it.

We have had some great coverage this last week on The Guardian Cardiff blog and also on BBC Wales Arts blog, so word is obviously spreading. Thanks to everyone for creating a buzz. We're anticipating our first submissions soon!
