names names names

If anyone's got a good idea for a name for the up and coming community arts event in Clydebank let us know by leaving a comment! Ideas so far: 'window shopping with CAOS' 'Up Your Street' 'Window Arts' - what do you think??

Clydebank's Got Talent!!

We are organising an event to celebrate community arts and to show the people of Clydebank what it's all about and to get them involved. As the shopping centre is such a central part of Clydebank we felt that it would be appropriate to hold the event there. We recently did a small piece of research in the lower section of the shopping centre asking people what they would like the event to be and we had over 200 people stop and talk to us within a space of 4hours. Therefore we're confident about the public's interest in such an event. The event will take place in a number of empty shop units in Clydebank shopping centre on 14th June.

We are looking for existing groups or individuals that would like to participate and show some of their work. That might be art works, photographs, textiles, sculpture, knitting, a dance piece, stand up comedy, a drama piece, music or singing. We're open for anything. We're also looking for films to display which have been made by local people and pieces of creative writing to print on shop fronts.

If you would be interested in showing something or volunteering on the day as an exhibition attendant or have any questions please email us at info@wearecurious.com .

Volunteers and Board Workshop

Last night we gathered together a group of CAOS volunteers and board members to pick their brains about the future of CAOS and what's important to them. They're a dedicated bunch and their tea and cakes were definately well earned.

Clydebank Shopping Centre goes dotty!



Yesterday we were out in Clydebank shopping centre asking the public what activities they'd like to try and also which event ideas they thought were good. Green = go for it, Orange = no thankyou!

Everyone was very nosey about what we were up to and quickly got into it. As you can see we had a great response! Thanks to everyone who contributed.

What would you like to try? Leave us a comment here to let us know.
