ENVIRONMENT
The OBS event space is a raw, evolving, multi-purpose space. Its constantly changing so please be aware of this.
These sessions are in their infancy. Your recommendations, support and advise is greatly received to help OBS: Art grow and the Art scene in Truro as a whole. We are investing time and money into OBS: Art ventures slowly but very, very surely. Please do chat to me (Rob) when you attend so we can discuss ideas as a group.
• Dress warm on cold days.
• We will light the space.
• We will book and pay the life model.
• I have created a collaborative Spotify playlist that you can add tracks to or let me know what you’d like added and I’ll put them on the listings.
• If all the spaces go I will ask Graeme at Old Bakery Studios Coffee to open for us. This is coffee, tea and juices. But feel free to bring your own refreshments and alcohol is fine to bring to.

A note from Rob..
Old Bakery Studios: Art, is a space for the local and the wider reaching south west artists and visitors to come together, network, socialise, generate ideas, exhibit, talk, photograph, sculpt, install, draw and paint. We have a long-term goal to invest in art and artists within and around the capital, connecting through our community and local businesses. We are a vibrant, diverse and dynamic place to visit, perfectly situated in the heart of the South West.
To begin building up our art scene, Rob Unett (OBS resident) has devised a series of social art activities, each focusing on life drawing, mixed with still life, photography, multi-media, music and scale. ‘I like to be connected to the community I live in, and through some reaching out we discovered that artists in the south west really want a space to get together talk, explore and work. So, to begin we are doing just that, no rules, no expectations, just getting together and doing something’ says Rob.
Rob's background is art and design. A professional artist Rob is also the Creative Director of London College of Fashion (aka Rob Phillips). ‘I’ve worked for years with creative people and devised many learning, promotional, outreach and socialising and mobilising activities. Seeing others and being with others, brining you and your practice to the fore in a visible space is beneficial on so many levels. It helps to make connections, connect with your community, build profiles, share ideas, witness alternative and new processes, even just to talk and feel part of something, there is so many reasons to get involved and explore the world of art and design through yourself and others
