SA Life Interviews Art Logic's Manager Jacqueline Mitchell

A Portrait Commission for Santos

On the fifteenth of March 2012, ART LOGIC received a commission request for a portrait: a member of the 'Santos family' was retiring and the hunt was on for a gift that would adequately represent his considerable contribution to the company. A life-sized painting (referenced from a photo) had been chosen as the perfect send off, and the source for the artist: a photograph from National Geographic.

 

At Perks you now get even more perks; the ART LOGIC perks!

At the start of April this year, ART LOGIC received a voice mail asking for a meeting to discuss (can you guess?) renting some art for their new office on Greenhill Road. The voice on our machine was none other than the Marketing Manager of (you may have guessed it by the title) Perks, an SA-owned accounting and financial services firm.

A new arts business venture – Hens Party Adelaide

How often have you heard people say, "I've got two left feet", or "I can only draw stick figures", or even "I'd love to but I’m too scared of making a fool of myself"?

Well, prepare to tell your friends (and maybe even yourself) that those excuses no longer stand! Courtesy of a new company known as Hens Party Adelaide there are a lot of new parties going on in town.

A Present for a Chairman

Art is one of the most beautiful and personal things you can give someone. It says something about you, about them, and the relationship between you – whether it be professional, romantic or simply appreciative.
What gift, then, could be more appropriate to give to a man whom you have worked with for over 20 years? A man whose work you, and many other people, owe so much to and appreciate so highly?

Thought for Food at ART LOGIC

Food for the Hungry
Australian businesses throw out $7.8 billion of edible food every year. This could be going to homeless shelters.

Why we need help
We need refrigerated transport to bring the food, otherwise wasted, to homeless shelters.

ART LOGIC's Live Art for Fundraising

“This is an amazing process to watch; seeing an artist creating an artwork live, from start to finish, it’s like magic.” is what we hear from observers.

That process took place again (for we are involved with quite a few) last (sweltering) Friday night, at the Adelaide Arena, Adelaide’s Mecca of basketball. There was a good turnout for the fundraising event that was organized by Michael Wall, an inspiring young Australian leader, to raise money for the Royal Society for the Blind (RSB).

Art for an Adelaide Business: Infraplan

Upon my return from a frolic-filled trip overseas, I was greeted by the looming spectre of things to do: fend off the billing companies (by a clever strategy of sending them money); wage a dramatic war against the army of moths who had  invaded the panty; relocate the legions of spiders who decided that what my house was really missing was at least one of them in every nook and cranny, and tackle all the annoying little tasks that no one else wanted to do.

Art in an Adelaide Business: Ferrier Hodgson

If someone asked you to picture the offices of Insolvency Accountants, you’re likely to imagine something on the darker side. Perhaps you visualize the reception area housing a small cage to keep the insolvent in.

Zero Waste – What a goal!


 

Sometimes it’s the things that surprise you which come to mean the most later on, and stay with you the longest. Granted, that may be because most of the time it’s a bad surprise, but today I’d like to talk about a good surprise.
