My thoughts:
How refreshing to hear someone from the commercial reality of the art world who was willing to give some hard earned advice and lessons in experience for us to consider in developing our own artistic careers beyond the comfort of university. She was engaging and put us all at ease as she bounded her way through the pitfalls of a professional career in the arts. Emma now deals with curating and commissioning contemporary art in the public realm and she talked through her current projects.
She energized me in terms of residency opportunities after university as I start to develop my CV and networking at every possible opportunity as it is through those connections that you have already established and future ones that you forge that help develop your career.
I would have really enjoyed one to one tutorial time with her but I had to go due to other commitments.
