Untitled blog post from "Diary of an artist writer online"
"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 […]

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 […]

I picked up my piece from the Surface Gallery yesterday. I always sense there is a strange feeling hanging in the air when taking down work at the end of a show. I'm not down about it as such but […]

Sally Booth beat competition from artists across the UK to win the annual a-n Magazine March 2009
The Artist’s voice
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.
