Southbank Bristol Artsweek 12-19 May

I'll be handing out the passport-lookalike brochures to go with this event this week. The weekend is themed around the notion of travel. It looks fantastic - loads of different artists showing a huge variety of work, and performances galore. You'll be pleased to know that the venue I'm exhibiting at has a cafe AND music.

Call for artistes! (That's YOU)

Picked this up from the a-n. It's so open that even we can enter! I think some of you may have to change your hair styles to qualify for the 'Energy Creative Hair award' though... These competitions are always worth a try - and good experience for getting together images of and statements about your work.
