Back in February (and I thought I’d already posted a blog in here!) I ran an hour’s Peace Painting workshop at The Collection Museum and Art Gallery, organised via Paradigm Arts.
I thought initially that this would be a talk for teachers about the Peace Painting Project, but I had to put together an ad hoc workshop.
Further images and details are in this blog.
I’ve since been experimenting with a few ideas for my own work and discovering that I have had to set up an all-new profile for Grantium.
Rob and I agreed to apply for Arts Council grant funding this spring, however, Catrine has sent me a brochure to use to send to companies in the UK to seek sponsorship and funding for the project.
I picked up a brochure from NSEAD and had a read of it recently to give me some ideas for the project.
I haven’t applied for Arts Council grant funding since 2014. I became completely disillusioned that any of my proposals, no matter how good, bad, big or small, would be accepted and funded.
Even when I had advice, I was made to feel that it’s simply a waste of time putting together proposals, and wasn’t in any position financially to risk it any more.
I have started work on one again, which is a bit like the description a lovely couple gave of visiting their son on the acute ward at the mental health hospital…..
But as I could be made destitute by Universal Credit next month, it’ll be a miracle if I get time to finish it….
