So, although I have had no notification from ACE, I have learned from Yvette, our Creative Economies Officer at Ryedale District Council, that my application for a Grants for the Arts has not been successful. Yesterday, I was extremely upset; part of it due to the utter exhaustion of trying to sort the house out post-builders, in time for Christmas, but the rest just deep disappointment.
However, I will continue to make my work, have my solo show in April, (without, sadly, an accompanying catalogue) and carry on with my plans for next year but on a non existant budget! I am beginning to bounce back, as Stef Mitchell said: it's the work that's important.
So, watch this space, and my facebook page for more info and pics about my work and its development.
Happy Christmas to everyone who is interested enough to follow this blog. I promise to provide great stuff in the coming weeks!
