Creative & Social
The Assembly / General Eclectic Arts Workshop will host themed workshops, shows and events as pop-up camp or squat pimped venues in Dublin and Barcelona, curated, organised, and administered within an online cooperative community. A moving venue for project meetings, workshops, teaching, and skill-sharing will be a priority as the project gains momentum.
The shared cultural venues as available, will offer open spaces, and institutions can be booked and once aligned, would provide venues for presentations, workshops, exhibitions, and skill-sharing. These would include design workshops, illustration, drawing, and painting tutorials. Workshops for groups run by members would include; graphic design, pattern design, woodworking, glass forming, ceramics, textiles, and creative photography expeditions and events.
Social and internet ethics tutorials and forums will be presented online along with research skills and general production practices including website building, web publishing, systems and network logic, etc. Invited practitioners and academics would discuss social responsibility and social ethics, media ethics, copyrights, and responsible journalism. Content curation for ethical marketing, publishing, and exhibition, as well as production for video presentations and motion graphics, will be offered, including animation and studio skills depending on demand, resources and facilities available.

The General Eclectic Arts Club could be run by its members with a President that change by election every 2 years – members should be creative professionals; artists, writers, designers, architects, photographers, craftspeople, makers, teachers, thinkers, communicators, motivators and social phycologists. There would be experimental, innovative and self-contained projects incorporating kinetics, sound art, review and workshopping of earlier discoveries, ideas, concepts and materials.
Over time and with increasing participation the General Eclectic Arts Club would feature and arrange in-house and outreach workshops and studios, within a seasonal schedule and would endeavor to accommodate creative projects of an experimental nature as they become feasible and appropriate.

Membership would be open to the local community as well as an international network of existing contacts and supporters and would strive to bring together in thought and practice – all ages, cultures, social positions and persuasions, … the general population.
All members should show a desire to learn more, and a commitment to share, teach and influence social change through creative activity and collaborative accomplishment.
Creative projects, processes, workshops, and skill-sharing activities could be ‘monetised’, with surplus above costs and production going back to further development and revival of the club and its activities, as well as to help fund group projects and organised satellite events by sponsorship and/or support.
The General Eclectic Arts Club would seek to affiliate with creative and cultural organisations and provide creative representation, proposals and preparations for exhibition, fundraising or e-commerce projects, including affiliations with fundraising facilitators like Patreon, and gogetfunding.com/category/creative, Kickstarter, etc

Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing
The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts, which include creation of images or objects in fields including today painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media.
Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, or advertising,[3] it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example.
Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts.[1][4] Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences.
In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.
Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), narrative (storytelling), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as “a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science”.[5]
Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed[6][7][8] and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency[9] and creation.[10]
The nature of art and related concepts, such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.[11]
