Interns and Artists
Last week saw Alan and I interviewing for interns to assist the Lincoln Art Programme. The process was hard as we felt responsible to each person, realising that everyone needs an opportunity, and all the candidates were really good, but we haven’t the space for everyone. In the end we chose Bethan Johnson a recent Loughborough Fine Art graduate (her degree show piece was great!) and Nick Simpson who also runs the DR collective in Lincoln, we have also asked current student Georgina Gregory to assist us on a casual basis. Its all very exciting and we are looking forward to welcoming them into the team tommorow.
Tomorrow Agnes Negregard also arrives, its the day before her pilgrimage starts, so there is a lot to talk through. So Thursday will be a mix of intern inductions, final planning and press for the pilgrimage and office organisation.
We have decided for the pilgrimage that one member of the Lincoln Art Programme team should go with Agnes. So on Friday morning my self, Agnes and a photographer are heading to Woodhall Spa to begin the journey. We have until 7.00pm to reach our destination at Washinborough with various points on the way to stop at. People can keep contact with where the pilgrimage is up to by texting 07871335193 for updates.
Then Saturday it is only a short walk from Washingborough to Lincoln where an audince will gather at the Stonebow Archway on Lincoln High Street at 1.00pm to take part in the final stage of the pilgrimage.
The weather will be wonderful so it should be a great couple of days!
