designed to help increase their chances of success when applying

when applying for funding for contemporary or ephemeral artforms,
particularly time based, conceptual and media art.

writing techniques and adopt a 'dodge the shredder' approach to
reduce the chance of rejected applications to galleries and grant
giving bodies.

Story
Jessica Curry
Thurs 29 April, 6-7.30pm
Jessica Curry is an award winning composer and sound artist. Her work
incorporates performance, video, installation, public art, virtual
worlds and computer games.
As a classically trained composer she fuses traditional instruments
and orchestration with applications of digital technology. The work
is an ongoing exploration of human identity, particularly our hidden
lives and emotional landscapes and is often melancholic and epic in
scale. Her illustrated talk will offer an insight into recent projects.

Lee
Simmons is a freelance artist who makes temporary environmental
interventions and works on relational projects. She often works
on self-initiated projects, outside the formal arts infrastructure
of the gallery and the commission brief.
She enjoys stumbling across objects, processes and people that interest
her, and fuel a period of research, and then develops works in an
organic way, often creating strings of linked projects. She has
worked as a lead artist for the charitable organisation Art Monkeys,
where she set up new cross art form projects, an artists' forum
and helped sustain and develop existing projects with diverse groups
throughout the Isle Of Thanet.
Catherine Bertola studied at Newcastle University. She
has undertaken a number of residencies and commissions, working
with organisations such as; Locus+, Workplace and Vane in Newcastle
upon Tyne, Beacon Art Project, Lincolnshire, Further Up in the Air,
Liverpool and Triangle Arts Trust, London.
She has exhibited widely across the UK, including solo shows at
International 3, Manchester (2005), Fabrica, Brighton and Firstsite,
Colchester (both 2006). A monograph Lost Narratives, was published
in 2005 by Art Editions North.
Susan Diab is a practising artist with a studio at APEC
in Hove. Her work can be broadly described as installation, involving
media from sound, through objects to public events. Mostly site-specific
and often participatory, it invites viewers' responses and aims
to bring forth a voice, in visual, aural or virtual form.
With a first degree in languages and a second in sculpture, she
has been teaching for nearly 20 years, recently concentrating on
professional development training. This represents her commitment
to promoting ways to make it possible for artists to have fulfilling
and rewarding careers in their chosen profession.
Paul Stanley is an artist and independent curator
who has been involved in the development and running of artist led
organisations such as Bankley Studios Gallery, Manchester and The
View From Here, Glasgow.
In 2004 Stanley set up the art collaboration [deletia] which he
now co-edits with Lynn Harris. [deletia] purchase ad space in various
magazines and use this space for the presentation, preservation
and promotion of art. Piggy backing on existing platforms allows
us to create non-linear, ahistoric reflections on visual culture.
A collective and accumulative 'snail-trail' can be seen at www.deletia.org.uk
During November and December 2007 Stanley was artist in residence
at USF Verftet in Bergen Norway.
