CatParade

I was recently involved in decorating a cat statue for 'CatParade' 

The purpose of the CatParade was to: 

Raise funds for UNICEF, CLAN and Denis Law Legacy Trust's Streetsport Initiative

Involve the local business and arts community

Recognise 100 years of Rotary International in Aberdeen

The project involved replicas of the Kelly’s Cat Statues, which adorn the parapet of Union Bridge, being transformed into unique works of art. The cats are synonymous with Aberdeen’s strong pride.

An exhibition was run from the 1st to the 27th of September in the Union Bridge windows of Waterstones.

The CatParade concluded with an exhibition and then an auction of the decorated Cats at a prestigious event on 28th September 2016 at The Marcliffe Hotel.

Here are some photos of my contribution, she was called 'TAT CAT' 
I really enjoyed the whole process.

Creative Communities comes to Seaton

During January and February 2014 Monica Wisniewski will be the lead artist working with the Creative Learning Team to deliver arts workshops and events in Seaton. Monica will work with local people to use traditional craft skills to make some temporary public art.

“My current art practice explores emotions and connections we have in our day to day lives. I aim to create positive art through colour, texture or text, I love to use many different materials and am currently exploring public art to express my positive messages. I have also found blogging to be an inspirational and useful outlet for my creativity.”
Monica Wisniewski, artist

This project will explore different materials and traditional craft skills to create artworks that will contribute to a temporary public art piece. As the project develops new work will be displayed publicly in Seaton, promoting a positive message about the local area and its people. Keep an eye out for artworks appearing in the area or come along to workshops and events to make your own and contribute to bigger group pieces.
