Viewing single post of blog Funding for international travel and exchange

One week before the exhibitions kick off and only now, am I thinking about publicity. It has taken an enormous amount of work to set up these two exhibitions and I feel absolutely drained. So apologies for going down the easy route – but here is our press release to kick start my blogging again:
