 Haus-a-rest

Welcome to a haven where the extraordinary resides in the seemingly ordinary—the home of great art and writing from all walks of life.

Journey with us through the realms of undiscovered brilliance, where the uncharted voices of everyday individuals breathe life into extraordinary creations.

Our zine is a sanctuary for the hidden gems, the unsung heroes among us, who channel their unique experiences into mesmerizing art and captivating prose.

Embrace diverse creativity as we curate and share the untold stories, opinions, and opportunities that unfold each month.

Open calls beckon artists, writers, musicians, and all creative souls to illuminate the world with their perspectives.

ISSUE 47

each year March is our month to celebrate International Women’s Day, with art and writing by women, for women, and about women…

 If we are moving toward a society where gender is not determined by one’s sex organs, and there are fewer and fewer boundaries on the way that women can work, have families, or live their lives in general, we must ask a crucial question: What does it mean to be a woman? What unites us? What divides us?

We asked for answers to these questions from anyone who wished to apply. Here you can step into a world where creativity meets empowerment! Our March content, as usual has been curated from artwork and writing created with passion and purpose.

A month dedicated to celebrating International Women's Day. Why is it necessary, you ask? Because within these pages and canvases, you'll discover narratives that redefine, inspire, and unite.

These pages shed light on the often-unheard stories, talents, and resilience of women in art. It's more than just a celebration; it's a collective embrace of the diverse voices that make our world richer and more colorful. Join us in recognising and applauding the brilliance found in every stroke, verse, and untold tale.

Calling artists & writers to submit work on

Open call for Art submissions to

Issue 48

"The Studio"

OPEN CALL for Art & Writing...

The studio is a creative space but if this concept is expanded what form would the studio take? Is the studio, any place that enables creativity and can it become the work itself?

The studio space can reflect the artist and restrain the artist by its very nature. How has your creative space informed and changed your art practice?  And what of the virtual or conceptual studio?

For this issue we want to see behind the scenes, to see the space that you use to create your work.  We are especially interested if your work is the creative space as we would love to see this and understand your rationale and the practicalities of making your studio your artwork.

We are seeking work that challenges and tackles the subject in a unique way.

We are media-inclusive so please submit whatever form works for you. We can accept films on YouTube and Vimeo.

Your submission should be an exploration and response to this and be part of your current practice and dialogue.


Please note:

* We love to see short films. We accept Vimeo and YouTube only. Please make sure they are set to public.

* Please only submit work that meets the theme.

Good Luck!

The Zine’s creators are all practicing artists too. Here you will find out what they have been up to and what events they have coming up over the next month or so…

Nichola Rodgers - @nicholarodgers.artist

Nichola is currently doing a sustainable project in the community course run by the Eden Project, updates and news can be found on her website link here - www.nicholarodgers.com

She recently completed this course and is now implementing all the information into her sustainable arts practice.

Nichola is also involved in a new sustainable food pantry she has helped to get off the ground in her local village called @PulboroughPantry and has instigated @pulboroughcreativegarden running the community creative garden, this will help to catalyst her ideas around sustainability in the arts and create an art physic garden in the area too. She has also been chosen to partake in the Ashes to Art auction where you can bid on a fire-damaged fireman helmet, that will be repainted in a creative design. The action is here in West Sussex and is for the fire service charity https://www.uk.givergy.com/ashestoart/?controller=home

Her practice has been slowly changing through research on how it can become more sustainable, through exploration of natural materials to create work, foraging for plant matter to produce inks, and sculpture and natural drawing material such as brushes made from feathers and weaved leaves to inks made from mushrooms and berries…

More drawing has been another exploration for Nichola with a new exhibition coming up later in the year, these drawings, explore her ideas around the symbiosis and connections of the natural world and humans…

Jenna Fox artist -@jennafoxart

Jenna installed the physical artwork "The Ballad of Reading" @rdgbiscuitfactory  The Reading Biscuit Factory. The physical piece was photographed and printed onto vinyl for the Reading station installation at the atrium. 

It will be in place at the Biscuit Factory for another six weeks.

Jenna is also very busy with her PhD research in full swing…

A MENTORING

OPPORTUNITY

We think that the art world can be a tricky place to navigate, especially when you're coming to the end of your course and are not sure what’s next.

We have decided to run an open call for any artist who is at an early stage of their art career.  This is not age-restricted, all we ask is you meet the criteria below…

If you are in your third year of an art degree, an MA / Mlitt, or are in the first three years of your art practice and would like to have 3 x one-hour sessions 1:1, one a month for three months (via Zoom or Teams) to bounce ideas, ask advice, gain practical steps and support from the Haus-a-rest team then contact us via our form here…

Please note there is no funding for this opportunity, it is your chance to be mentored by two artists who have been around the block to offer support and suggestions to help support your art journey.

There are two places available.
