announcement of the ArtLinks 2010 bursaries and we just completed our first ArtLinks
Podcast course in Kilkenny this week. Members from all 5 counties attended with some from further afield for this over-subscribed course.

Best wishes, Cathy

ArtLinks to Survey Arts Services in South East
In the coming months ArtLinks intends to both review the three old ArtLinks programme, along with ArtLinks partner Arts Office services and establish the needs and priorities of those involved in the Arts.
In a very changed economic landscape for both Arts Service providers and those working in the Arts, we will encourage all involved in the Arts to supply survey feedback on current programmes and services and highlight current priorities along with new ideas. This will greatly assist in designing the most relevant and effective means of supporting further Arts development for you and others in the South East.
More details will follow in subsequent eNewsletters. Please consider alerting people who are not yet ArtLinks members to register so their voices can be included in this important process.

Building a Business from your Art is now an online resource
 An Artist's Business Guide - Online Resource for Artists
Launched by Padraig McCaul. ArtLinks member and previoius ArtLinks course facilitator
www.anartistsbusinessguide.com
The
aim of the blog is to provide a platform for some thoughts and one
strategy on how to build and grow a business as an artist. The current
economic climate has made making a living as an artist both challenging
and precarious. But not impossible.
For
anyone that has attended one of Padraig's workshops "Building a
Business from your Art" his ideas presented on this blog will be
familiar - taking control of your own career, creating your own
opportunities, building your own client list, the importance of having
an engaging website...
The
first post - 10 Steps to building a viable career as an artist -
provides the framework for the upcoming articles that will appear on
the blog over the coming months.
