Made in England

http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/our-work/made-england/

I only came across this today and am recording it here if I need to refer to it at any point for my dissertation/final major project.

It all happened in 2009 and everything since seems to have the word 'olympic' in it. Anyway, it's an interesting project and post olympic fever and funding contractions ACE may have similar initiatives in the future. Let's hope so.

Who stole my summer holiday?

Ok. Where did that summer break go? It seems we only just broke for the holidays and our end of year show was up! Suddenly, I am filling in my registration for the third and final year of my degree.

Yes, I have been busy. But in a good way. I have learnt so much, met so many great people and feel like I will return to Year Three equipped with some invaluable experience, a greater understanding of what I'm aiming at and hopefully some great ideas to put into practice.

Then there's the dissertation of course. What happened to my best intentions of preparing the first draft by the time we returned in September? There is still time to get something down, I guess.

Better get cracking then.

Exhibition of Visual Art - Southend Central Library to 24th August

An eclectic mix of art from six local artists (that's Five-plus-one-more) in the newly created Central Gallery (formerly the cafe!). A real treat, described by the Southend Library team as 'the best and most professional show so far". Take a look - ends 24th August.


Central Gallery, First Floor, Sothend Central Library, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex.


Well all the hard work paid off and our new show is up!

In case you can't make it here are a few piccys
