  Creative communities have inspired scandal, melodrama and (not to mention) artistic productivity throughout history. / / / From the mid-1800s in Paris, the hill-top district of Montmartre became home and source of inspiration for artists across Europe. Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse were among the painters drawn to this bohemian commune. / / / A hub of creativity existed in the outskirts of Melbourne in the 1930, 40s and 50s where a gifted generation of artists defined the Australian modern art scene at Heide (now Heide Museum of Modern Art). Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester were among the talents who created artwork and complicated relationships under the patronage of Sunday and John Reed. / / / The 1960s burgeoning of creative self-expression was epitomised by Andy Warhol’s New York work space – “The Factoryâ. Warhol’s open door policy and generation-defining parties made his studio a second home to the likes of Mick Jagger, Truman Capote and Salvador Dali who gathered to generate art, music and, inevitably, tabloid gossip. / / / These creative communes have defined artistic movements and inspired generations of creators. / / / Will there be creative communities that will define this generation and, if so, what will they look like? Are they evolving to a unique format to reflect today’s environment? Or are they suffocating under the financial and time pressures of economic rationalism? Dare we suggest it – are creative communities becoming an endangered species? / / /

• Strange apparition in Edinburgh

  Hi all, just wanted to tell you that on Saturday 16th August 2008, my husband Craig and I got talking to a Lancashire lady whilst we waited to go to the Edinburgh Tattoo, 10.30pm show, so I guess around 9.15pm. Now what was unusual was that as between us we tried to capture a few pictures looking out on to the Royal mile, she captured a strange apparition of a lady getting married in white bridal outfit with the mile as it is….our picture seconds after did not have her in it and no procession of any kind was going on as the police had that area cordoned off for security and crowd control purposes. We were standing on the left of the Royal Mile, in the small yard of the building facing the Hub which was on our left….just wondered of anything similar in the area others might have recorded? Sorry I don’t have the same picture, but for sceptics she was using a 4 meapixel digital camera and didn’t even know how to turn off the flash, as I showed her…so no techno genius either…. spooky eh? lol.
