Eat Art Sleep
Eat Art Sleep is the new blog which has been designed by Artstation by tow
graphic design students at AUT as part of the yMedia challenge. The yMedia
challenge puts teams of students, not-for-profit organisations and industry
professionals together to work on new media initiatives in an eight week
challenge.
Fritha Hookway and Plummy Woods’ challengewas to focus on ways to get young
people involved and engaged at Artstation. They have designed the blog and are
now recruiting for the Young Arts Committee (see below).
We really need a bunch of students who are willing to give a bit of time to help
feed exciting and interesting art information to our EAT ART SLEEP blog… EASY!

Maila Ural
Glen Innes youth art collective - June 2010
Artstation art worker Maila Urale is making links to the community of Glen Innes and to its youth. As part of her
work Maila sets up artist collectives to provide support to individual artists, and to help them sustain their art practice.
Maila's vision is to set-up a Glen Innes based youth group as an actual artist collective/art club. The collective came to Artstation and did
workshops in animation and silkscreen design and printing.
