2010-09-21T12:03:00.000-07:00

We got the following in our mailbox about a week ago:

The Concerned Friends of Pakistan – Dubai Chapter, have partnered with Karachi Relief Trust (KRT), to support the affectees of the worst flooding in Pakistan in living memory. More specifically, our focus will be on providing for food and household goods for camps managed by KRT. - To support this initiative we will be holding a silent auction fund-raising event on September 23rd and 24th 2010 at the Capital Club DIFC. All of the funds raised from this event will be used to support KRT’s relief efforts. The auction will be showcasing a premium collection of artwork, designer clothing and jewellery. All monies raised will be announced at the end of the two day event. Use of funds and all receipts will be made transparent to all participants.

FN Designs artists along with some support of our friend "Fra" - worked on the art piece shown below:

Title: Paul for President

Size: 210 x 110

By: FN Designs team (Jawa & UBIK)

Description: Vote PAUL for president. Paul actually knows what he wants, and gets what he wants, as proven during FIFA World Cup 2010, unlike most presidents who can't even feed their people.

Auction dates: 23rd - 24th September 2010
Location: Captial Club (DIFC) Dubai

FN Designs 1st anniversary & SKETCH#8

2010-04-03T06:03:00.001-07:00

With the eminent reaction to SKETCH -the highly awaited event- that takes place at thejamjar, we are pleased to announce that the next sketch event is FN Designs one year anniversary, and to celebrate this day, we've gone ahead and made SKETCH#8 a free for all draw and swap event. Patrons are welcome to come down to the jamjar and join us in our celebration. All art created will be on display and the artist are free to swap their work created on that day to each other.

There will be no registration fee required for the anniversary.

Earlier this year FN Designs launched its clothing line and apparel brand "EIGHT," and was commissioned to designs a shirt for the opening of Burj-Khalifa that was responded with in high demand by the UAE public.

This past year was a pretty good one and we're glad to say that we've made our small dent in the local art scene, give it sometime and we'll for sure break through and cement our position in the scene. We hope to see you all at the next "SKETCH" and future events. Also keep an eye out for our upcoming project "Amor."

FN Desings launches EIGHT

2010-01-04T09:43:00.000-08:00

EIGHT - A brand that is made by others who want to make it a brand. The reason behind such human nature has been linked to various notions of contemporary arguments. We coexist to make a difference, or at least we try. Scattered we are of no use and together we are a group of egos; and somewhere in the middle of something but not quite there yet, is what makes sense to us, and after seven comes EIGHT, and then we clothe you.

EIGHT - A clothing line by FN Designs

SKETCH #2

2009-06-09T04:00:00.001-07:00

Note to artists: Participating artists are encouraged to bring their own materials if they have any specialist requirements. We would like to bring to your attention that SKETCH #2 will not include painting of any kind; including watercolour and acrylic paint, due to the length of time that it requires for the paint to dry – thus affecting the concept of Sketch – that being instantaneous availability of art. We would appreciate your understanding in this regard.

In order to serve you better, SKETCH will now be split into two time slots – artists in attendance from 5pm – 10pm, and patrons and customers invited to come and participate from 8pm – 10pm.

SKETCH - May 28th 2009 -

2009-05-31T02:02:00.000-07:00

So after a quick month of planing and deliberation , the first "Sketch" event was held at the jamjar, and it was quite an impressive turn out, considering the fact that most of our PR was done in less than a week and majority of it was done only through facebook. We had over 40 artists turn up , working on different mediums , chruning out works one after the other by the hour. An over all of about 15 pieces were sold that night , and the energy present amongst the artists was one to cherish and witness in person.

The feedback we've gotten from the patrons were of a positive note, and hopefully the next "Sketch" night to be held on 18th june 2009 , will end up being a riot of new works and more sales and a lot more turn out.

All in all , the night was a pretty good one and we're glad to say that we've made our small dent in the local art scene, give it sometime and we'll for sure break through and cement our position in the scene. We hope to see you all at the next "Sketch" .

SKETCH

2009-05-21T02:10:00.000-07:00

"Sketch" is an evening of live sketching and art making and offers the local arts community a place to congregate, talk, create and be seen, with the request for artists to simply drop in, register and start creating.

The registration fee is AED 30 and all basic materials needed for the event will be provided (pens, markers, papers, watercolors, acrylic, etc). Participating artists are encouraged to bring their own materials if they wish to do so if they have any specialist requirements.

The final work(s) will be put up for sale on the walls of The JamJar as and when the artist has completed their piece – and the artists are encouraged to produce as many pieces as they wish throughout the evening. The end result being that the art is instantly made more accessible to attending customers and by individually pricing each piece, making them independently affordable and attainable.

The price of each will be priced by the artist between AED 50- AED 500, and neither Fn nor The JamJar will take any percentage of the final sales from the artists, given that the event is designed to help local artists to gain a wider exposure in the ever-expanding local art scene, and also to further promote the idea of affordable art. "Sketch" is an innovative, affordable and interactive way to expand your art collection as well as exposing and supporting new up-and-coming talent in the region.

This event offers patrons and art lovers an opportunity to see local artists at work and get acquainted with them on a personal and interactive level – as well as it being an ideal way for artists and designers to meet each other in a social environment and be inspired by each others creative process.

All art created at the event is for sale and will be displayed until the event closes.

Fn looks forward to seeing as many art lovers as possible in attendance at the opening ‘Sketch’ event, to support the idea and the artists alike. This art-social event promises to be the next big art-driven event in Dubai.
