aim4art is a voluntary community arts group, formed in 2009, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of painting and drawing in the Tees Valley. We aim to paint, aim to draw, aim to create art. We meet every Tuesday (10am-4pm) at The Barn, overlooking Hemlington Lake, Middlesbrough, TS8 9DA. We have no regular tutor, but support each other and organise a programme of visits and workshops. Visit our website at www.aim4art.org.uk

Memories - Kate Geelan (with Karol Neilsen and Les Southerton)
It's good to see individual aim4art members having solo exhibitions or collaborations, like this one between Kate, Karol and Les at Stockton Library. Kate's 'Memories' relate mainly to Staithes and are a series of adventurous mixed media studies presented with Kate's trademark flair. They are complimented by Karol's imaginative paintings and Les' elegant and very reasonable pots.
Changes At The Barn
From October, management of our venue at The Barn will be passed from Middlesbrough Council to Tees Valley Asset Management Trust. The plan is to turn our existing rooms into a nursery, and to create a brand new and higher grade community facility and cafe from the remaining building. We wish them success and look forward to seeing the results.
The new arrangements will mean a rise in rent and also subs. However, no increase will be needed until after the agm in November when options will be discussed.

Richard Barnes Workshop
Richard's workshop focussed on freely rendered urban landscapes using acrylics. It was one of those days that generated enough fresh work to mount a new exhibition, and it was a pity really that we weren't able to organise an earlier date to inspire our 'Not the Transporter Bridge' exhibition. Rather belatedly here are some photos of the group and the results.
