Today, I am tentatively looking into applying for things again. I was taking a break from it all while I reassessed my work, but now I thinks it’s time to at least look.
I’m still aware of the a-n feature ‘Trade Off’ ( mentioned in blog # 14 of mine) So I’m being quite cautious. ( this feature also makes a point of not ‘flaunting your work’, by the way, as I mentioned in my last blog)
I circled several things of interest that I planned to look into when I had a little more time, so now that I have had a little more time….. I am reading them fully.
At least half of them had a submission fee, which meant that a hefty £100 would have gone out of my dwindling bank account before my work had even been looked at. They were deleted.
My search now covers:
No fee paying applications
Nothing in the immediate area I live in ( sick of the ‘local artist’ label!)
‘Good exhibitions’ (a term coined in the above mentioned article) near enough though that it doesn’t cost an arm and leg to travel to.
That narrows things down considerably.
