There isn’t enough time in my life……. Trying to fit in all of this admin on top of my full time job leaves no time at all for my own work. I spent a couple of hours last night making a website for the group. The old one was too time consuming to update, so I thought it would be good to change it to a blog (which is also free, so it ticks all boxes!) Obviously, I need to add more to it, but then as I said….time is a problem.

I’ll be adding the artists next, including the ‘new’ ones that will be taking part in our COLONIZE exhibition in NY.
Ten weeks to go…. It’s really scary how quickly the time is whizzing by now. I’m still working on the ACE application, which is pretty much my evenings taken care of. I need to get it out of the way so that I can finally continue with my own work for the exhibition.
It has been interesting filling in the form though as it has prompted discussions within the group over what we actually want to achieve when we get there. It’s far from being JUST an exhibition, as it involves so much interaction with the residents of Jamestown. Getting to the ‘Finance’ section of the form, I wonder if we can claim for payments to artists (given the ACE funding strategy – fair pay to artists etc : http://new.a-n.co.uk/news/single/ace-funding-agenda-need-for-fair-pay-for-artists-recognised )
We want this visit to be a stepping stone for other artists to go across and take part in future residencies there so it’s important that we get it right.
…and on that note… my break in work is over…
