STARTED PLANNING SOME EVENTS…
This week’s milestones:
promo card ready to go to print as soon as I get the NAN logo for it
set a date for the launch party – SAVE THE DATE! 16 June, 6 – 8pm at Towner! (anyone want to sponsor our refreshments?)
started planning some events…
Actually my notebook is beginning to fill up rapidly with ideas for events – from a Skills Swapshop to a Snapshot Artchat presentation evening with up to 12 artists giving strictly timed 5 minute talks about their practice or their passions. Two of our early aims are 1) to get artists talking about their work and 2) to get to know one another better. Hopefully these events might help with both of these aims.
As I keep saying, the success of the Network will depend on a strong membership, and just because we’ve got a tight budget doesn’t mean we do less, it just means that to start with we do MORE oursleves. I’m very aware that East Sussex artists have an enormous range of knowledge and experience, so to begin with the emphasis will be on finding ways to share and exploit that knowledge; to work together to make things happen.
In the long term though, our aspirations are to build an outward-looking and progressive network that will make links beyond our regional and national boundaries. But that might take a little longer.
