Yesterday I was invited to take part in a follow up interview for BBC Radio Lincolnshire to discuss my experience on the Plinth, so this morning I was on the breakfast show, and the producer has given me her email address, so hopefully future LAN group activities will receive wider attention locally, so that’s good.
Plans for the Christmas Market have hit a glitch, as we haven’t booked an official stall through the Council, we were hoping to have one in the faculty of illustration at the top of the hill – 3rd year illustration students usually use the Christmas Market to raise funds for their degree show, and we were hoping to have our own stall latched onto that… but apparently they’re not likely to do it this year. So I’m going to have to look into some other possibilities.
We’re working on proposals for a potential Alice In Wonderland themed exhibition for March 2010, and I emailed the local Odeon cinema with regard to hosting it there in collaboration. I’m expecting a phonecall about that. they won’t offer us sponsorship, but if we can use the venue during the premiere of the Tim Burton film I plan to tie it in with more dolls possibly – everyone’s coming up with proposals for their own work, and then we’ll seek additional funding.
My Arts Council grant proposal was returned – I’d got some dates wrong and a few things need ironing out, so I will have to resubmit it again, but considering it’s my first proposal I’ll get there eventually – I did post it in a bit of a hurry.
I’ve been invited to take part in AIR Open Dialogues in Nottingham next month, I need to sort out some kind of childcare for that.
I’m missing out on the private view for Magne Furuholmen’s Alpha Beta exhibition at Paul Stolper gallery in London because Thursday night is a school night and I can’t really get to London for it, I would’ve loved to go, I do love Magne’s work, but I’m slightly biased, being also a fan of his music!
I will catch the exhibition when I go to London in November for A-ha’s 02 gig, where I will be “exhibiting” some work ;-)
