The Glass Parallax by Samual Dowd.
Following on from an artist-led public meeting last December in Glasgow, Wednesday 25 February saw a public forum on the theme of ‘Arts Futures: Creative Scotland?’ at the Glasgow School of Art.
It is understandable that the development of Creative Scotland has been perceived by many cultural practitioners as an attack on the arts themselves. An initial response from some practitioners has been to defend the arts through the various well-known claims of the value of arts to the economy.
John Holden on cultural elitism and expert professionalism.
Matthew Houlding’s Sons of Pioneers.
Audience development is core within galleries and arts organisations seeking diverse participation in programmes.

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post. I've never kept a diary, so I have not yet acquired the habit of spilling my thoughts in a written form regularly. It's been such a ridiculously busy period that […]
Since my last posts 'Fictions' opened at the Bonington Gallery. As is often the case, the show was not completely resolved until five minutes before we opened our doors to the public. Thanks must go to Geoff Diego Litherland for […]
Lastly, Tom Down's exhibition at the Wasp Room, which I help to run, opened last night. I have to admit- I have done very little in preparation for this show, as my Fictions responsibilities have taken up most of my […]
Does anyone else think Easter is completely unnecessary? It's so infuriating that the studios/workshops/libraries at university will be closed! There are now no seminars left in our Fine Art BA degree at Kingston. Soon we'll have no more core tutorials […]

I am in the process of moving out of "The Shed", and moving into a proper rent paying (space) studio of my own. This is scary stuff, leaving behind my free shed, and forcing myself at a point of economic […]
