Salford Zine Library

2010-09-01T23:13:00.000-07:00

This is worth a look for anyone in the practice of producing zines and self published work. It's a growing library of this kind of thing and aims to tour as well as gather and archive it's collection. Submissions are welcome and it seems like a fun thing to be a part of...as well as another chance to get your work out there. It's also a kind of interesting model for alternative ways of doing that.

Got this over the Arts Council Job email. There is paid residency going at the Highland Art Studio up in Inverness. The position involves 50% teaching and 50% doing your own thing, for a year on 20K. Take a look at the website (though there is no information about the residency on it) and for more info email or an application pack. Deadline is the 27th of September.

I recently read about a printmaker who did this and it really gave her career a kick start.

2010-06-21T19:10:00.000-07:00

I went browsing in a chain bookstore in Anchorage and found a few interesting magazines that publish art work along side written work by both established and up and coming artists. Take a look, it might be worth submitting. They all seem to accept unsolicited submissions.

Interestingly, a couple seem to be affiliated with universities...just thought I'd mention that.

COMPETITION NUMERO UNO!

2009-06-17T09:58:00.000-07:00

So, we'd really like for this blog to start looking good and it seems that the first step is to get a good banner across the top with the blog title and what-not. It's open to everyone on the course so have a crack and see if you can come up with something. Entries should be emailed to either Laura or Vicky (Clark) by the end of the month and will be judged by an esteemed panel of highly talented and discerning individuals.
The grand prize for the one and only winner is a tea party held in honour of the victor (with the winner's choice of custom baked cake) to take place at a tuesday evening crit one fine summer evening.

Welcome!

2009-06-17T09:35:00.000-07:00

Gather round one and all - welcome to the MA blog. The thinking behind it is that it can serve as a kind of notice board for course members and alumni to alert everyone to interesting opportunities and exciting things to look out for. The idea is that all students, past and present, will be able to make and read posts, wherever they may be.
In time, it will hopefully start to look cool and be full of things like up coming events, job opportunities, competitions and the like so keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground for stuff to contribute!
