Having been away for a bit I am suddenly rethinking the whole raft of meanings that can be associated with the words “A Sense of Place” I have begun to rethink meanings & interpretations and attempting to get back to […]
The kids are back at school after half term, so now I'm re-focussed on work again. I've submitted my proposal for the business competition in the hope I can achieve funding for LAN activities. I've been meaning to go to […]
"I am sorry to inform you but your application has been unsuccessful etc.etc." Yes , you've guessed – another proposal for an art work has been turned down. Now I do feel miffed at this because I had spent the […]
I have just had a read through the comments on this blog and it has given me a lot to think about. I also feel very glad not to be alone! One comment reminded me of something that used to […]
I haven't submitted a post for a while, things have been really hectic what with work and art. I just haven't had the time to actually write a post. I've been into the studio on Friday and Monday for the […]
As a nu-Luddite (I have an Ipod) I have only just worked out how to get images on here. Wow. Embarrassing. My work seems to be going well. A brief worry that I would have to produce as much as […]
The workshops at the Arc were the first practical (as in 'making' rather than 'talking') interaction with local people and functioned as the opening events to the project that I am working on in Caterham. The two afternoons went well, […]

Sally Booth beat competition from artists across the UK to win the annual a-n Magazine March 2009
The recent flurry of arts consultations across the UK has raised the question of artists’ representation on decision-making fora. Here we report on developments surrounding AIR and the proposed Creative Scotland merger, and the willingness (or otherwise) of others to listen to artists’ opinions.
It is with some regret that we have to inform a-n that owing to the credit crunch our income recently has been so low that we are not able to make any awards to artists this year. Nor is it clear whether we will be able to fund awards next year.
How refreshing to read Michelle Letowska’s espousing of amateurism in relation to art practice in a-n Magazine (February 2009).
