What I have Learned

This is the slideshow I developed for the South London Arts Forum (SAF) talk I gave earlier this year. They have made it available as I requested, and so here it is.
It's basically  rundown of what I have learned in a decade o f being an artist and curator. It may be useful to some.
The gist of it is, "you can do it, if you want it badly enough."

Southwark Arts Forum 2014 Conference

I'll be speaking at Southwark Arts Forum

SAF Conference - The Art of Making Money 6th February 2014.

  http://www.southwarkartsforum.org/index.php?pagename=news&newsitem=6992

I'm not going to be telling people 'how to make money' - but I will be sharing some tips on building and creating a sustainable, interesting and challenging practice that will grow and lead to all kinds of amazing things. I'll talk about Studio 75 and my work with Luna Nera and how powerful artist-run initiatives can be.

 

at Studio75 - with Glenn Ibbitson, Nazir Tanbouli and Carole King
