Any artist can start a blog on the Projects unedited area of Artists talking. Covering everything from exhibitions to commissions and residencies to setting up a studio and sorting out your life, these blogs provide fascinating evidence about what it’s like to operate as an artist nowadays, highs and lows. warts and all.

“I booked myself for an Arts Council meeting for this evening, however several challenges presented themselves to me. The first was that although it was advertised in Lincoln, the meeting is actually 20 miles away, in Sleaford. As I don't drive, this means relying on the train. 5.30 - 7.30pm is a very inconvenient time of the day for a parent… decided to add it to my blog so that others can appreciate how many additional challenges I face as a single parent trying to find my way.”

"For the past 4 days I have been at Wysing Arts Centre, Cambs as one of the artists selected for the first Escalator Retreat programme this year. Feeling rather exhausted from my lecturing post I was looking forward to lying back a bit, listening to artists discuss their practice. HOWEVER the reality was that it was an action packed programme organised I have to say, extremely competantly by students from The Royal College of Art's MA Curatorial practice course alongside Donna Lynas and Lotte Juul Petersen."
