Bow Skills Lab Launch

2015 has started with a bang and its suddenly April. As the day light hours get longer, I wanted to share with you some exciting news- I am working with Bow Arts to extend the programme of Engine ChatChat peer crits I have been running there since 2012 and develop a whole professional development programme. I wanted to make it relevant and useful, so I am working closely with an artists’ steering group and the staff at Bow to develop the Bow Skills Lab programme. It would be great to see you all at the Launch on 28th April where we have a keynote from Ceri Hand, Working with Artists in the shifting Gallery Landscape, she will talk about her 25 years experience working with artist as commissioner, curator, gallery director and more.
