We’ve teamed up with Michelle Mangan, Sharon McHendry and an incredibly talented bunch of artists to create Thou Art Viable – festive cards for a tricky fucking year.
A dizzying array of live-performance makers have designed Thou Art Viable festive cards. Card designers include: theatre maker and artist Katherina Radeva; graphic designer Ross Napier; Jazz singer and painter Ali McGregor; comedian and illustrator Danny Clives; Scottish Album of the Year Award nominated singer-songwriter Ela Orleans; and Storytelling’s very own Miriam Attwood.
We’re chuffed that we’ve been able to pay all these brilliant artists. And we will split all profits between culture support funds ExcludedUK, Eclipse Theatre and Black Womxn in Theatre’s #AllOfUs campaign.
How do I buy Thou Art Viable festive cards?
You can buy Thou Art Viable festive cards over on our website Thou Art Viable. Packs of 6 cards are £10 and any two packs have postage and packing included.
We will post cards out at the end of each week through November and December. There is a limited number of cards available. That means get in fast!
Thou Art Viable’s Miriam, Sharon and Michelle said:
‘We quite simply saw this as a chance to put our story back out there – to talk up the number of specialists in our industry who have had 9 months without the joy, hustle and madness of their day jobs. Looking around we came full circle – we have time to stuff envelopes and we know artists who we know would have time to contribute artworks. This is not us diversifying, this is us saying ‘Thou Art Viable’
“We must not be forgotten, we don’t want to be forgotten and we don’t want our incredible artists to be forgotten. By buying a pack of cards you are paying an artist for their work and you are handing a loved one a wee reminder of the arts and the mischief and magic we create as one of the country’s most loved and misunderstood industries.”
