I kindly received word from the cavendish group saying that it was perfectly fine for me to display their commission work in my open studio even which is great news. Visitors will be able to see my latest work instead of the older work I was going to display.
I had some fantastic news this week too. I have been selected by Visual 08 Arts and Business East Midlands region for them to represent my work and me for commissions and sales to businesses. I am really happy and hopefully things should start happening in a few months. I also have recently signed a contract with a London based Gallery and representative called Heafford + Hall who have a fantastic little gallery just off Clapham common.
I haven't had the chance to get into the studio in the last few days. I have been busy applying for things and doing paperwork e.t.c. I wrote an application for exhibition at Deda in Derby. I am exhibiting as part of a group show in the first part of next year. The group is called Morph Creative Dynamics in Derby. I also sent out loads of e-mails inviting as many people as I know to the open studio event at the end of the month.
Hopefully I should be able to get into the studio soon so I can continue with my current work.
As part of the residency I give Erewash council 5 working days as part of community arts projects. I am really looking forward to this and I am just mulling over at the moment what age group I want to work with. I am undecided at the moment, the problem is that I don't really have any experience in this field so I feel like I would liket to work with as many age groups as possible. I am thinking of proposing this and offering Erewash borough council a lot more than the 5 days so that I can increase my experience.
I saw a few friends from University last week and it was great to see them, even if for such a short while. I am missing the group of people I was at university with and it does seem strange at the moment not seeing them and discussing stuff with thm. I must make more of an effort to e-mail them
