Arena proposal

Here's the proposal for the inside of a shrine, got some stuff in the garden to age it, strangle hot summer its not raining, what's going on? Supporting text to come . . .

Struggling through Chaos!

In the middle of moving house, so making work is taking a back seat for a couple of weeks. Did get a reply from Bury art gallery saying they'll be in touch in August. I'll write to Alan and see if he can post me some plates in time for my next session, mid Aug.

Meeting & PV

Had a good meeting with John from Capitalists oof culture, their gallery is the foyer of an office building, my show opens 14th Aug for a month. PV of West Lancs OPen tonight, interesting show, not as conservative as I though it would be, lots of good pieces. Pleased to be involved.

I Won!!

Last night was the PV of the Stockport show, my work is hung upstairs. I was amazed to see a sticker next to bling bling saying I'd won a merit award. £100, absoutly amazed!!! Feel encourged by that. Stuck my Arena submission in today and meeting with the Capitalists of Culture guy tomorrow. It's all happening!!

Capitalists come good!

Arena proposal criteria

Here's what they are asking for, I'm losing my nerve on this one. "We are looking at facilitation three large groups and up to 10 individual artists each stage. Rental costs could be subsidised, but all exhibitors will be expected to contribute to rental costs for exhibition space.

Individual artists, artists groups and associations are asked to submit current CV’s, exhibition proposals, a CD-rom showing their practise, a non-refundable £5.00 administration fee (cheques only please)and a stamped self addressed envelope.

Individual artists should write 250 to 1000 words including a personal statement and a proposal outlining your project and what your requirements would be. For larger organisations please write up to 2,500 words including information on you and your previous work and what you propose to do. Also how you intend to make this happen together with details of how you plan to finance this."

July print making session

More shrines, also worked on writing for Arena submission, must be in by the end of the week.

a drive out to Stockport

Dropping off two pieces for Stockport Open, They are having Public Sector Management & Bling Bling.
Here's one of the shine bits I've been working on, just needs a crackle glaze. Two weeks to tie this up into a submission, need to think how best to use next week's printmaking session.
