Hello Art-SX fans and members.

News for this month comes in all shapes and sizes. The charity art classes are only a month away, with the first one in June, June 3rd to be precise, we will be joined on the day by Echo features editor Claire Borley, Claire and the Echo have shown some great support for the Art-SX project and helped us last year in getting the word out, for more info on the classes please click here.

New sections are currently under construction including a new shop, unfortunately our shop is currently not in operation, this will only be temporary until the new shop is complete. The Photo-SX gallery is coming along nicely and will soon be ready to transfer over all your fantastic Pics. Click here for a sneak preview...

Top Secret, Stan has recently gone MaD.... Not in that way cheeky, MaD stands for Multimedia and Design which is a studio project Stan is putting together which will provide professional web design for businesses and in turn will enable more free sites for local charities and non-profit groups...Read on to find out more!

MaD-Studios has been on the back burner for some months now, Stan has been so busy with other work that it's just been a matter of waiting for the right time. It's still Top Secret but Art-SX members will be the first to know and as soon as the project goes live we will inform you straight away, it's all looking to be very exciting.

Other news we have been asked to organise an exhibition in Southend's local library and I shall post details on this over the coming week!

Ok that's about all for now don't forget to keep an eye on our news items for breaking stories concerning Art-SX.
