We are excitedly planning our 2010 activity and getting the funding applications sorted. We received funding from NAN towards our activities and are planning a trip to the Southern counties, hopfully the research trip will inform the development of our future programming.
We will have on overnight trip and stay in Bristol, and there meet some of the artists we are working with this season, whilst having a look at Bristol’s art spaces and activities. We also plan to sample what Frome has to offer, relating to art activities in a sparsely populated area.
I have become more familiar with art activities in smaller cities and towns, even villages since working on the Lincoln Art Programme. Despite many sceptical opinions I believe that with perseverance small places can sustain art environments, and Frome is proof of this.
In other news we are attempting the new online ACE application system and rather hoping that there isn’t an official word limit. We seem to be rather good at exceeding all word counts on applications.
We have also set up a new mailing list subscription page on our website, which should make it a lot easier for people to receive information from us.
