Things for the Art Trail are progressing at a good pace.
We have had several meetings with the Town Council and the Food festival committee who are all very supportive. At the last meeting, the lady who owns the Black Swan invited us to use six of her restaurant windows, so this will provide an interesting challenge to one of our artists, especially as we have to be careful about which fixings we use.
The whole process has been a good challenge for me on a personal level. It has taken me into contact with our local arts officer, the town council. local councillors and generally people outside my lovely arts community. As a naturally shy person, the prospect of talking in front of a group of extremely assertive people is incredibly daunting.
But has been a real time of growth for me as a professional artist, becoming more confident with my own knowledge and background in the arts, and applying them to working in partnership with other agencies.
