Participatory Arts day and Arts Compass website slowly beginning...

Thank you to CRS http://creativeskills.org.uk/ and Feast http://feastcornwall.org/for a really good day today on Participatory Arts. i have long wanted to include mentoring/training in some bids and that as well as other useful findings came from Artswork Paul Hamlyn project.  http://artworksalliance.org.uk/

Being 'busy' means i don't get to see as much as i would like so it was great to hear from Rogue Theatre http://www.roguetheatre.co.uk/ (  their outdoor Tehidy Woods shows come highly recommended, who else can fill 3 shows a day, and they ran the best tent - for young performers - when i visited  Port Eliot Festival some years ago, they have a commitment to place and people) and to listen to and meet up with Tough Dough http://www.toughdough.co.uk/Alessandra and Lizzie after some years and hear more about their work.
Anna Murphy had some great suggestions of meeting to share, support etc regularly. It is good to see such open supportive relationships between artists.

A quick plug for new website http://artscompass.weebly.com/ in its early days.....my personal (outside Shallal) response to Arts for Health closing and what about the practitioners?!! talent, experience and networking...

Artscompass website

Why we are here.....
I feel very passionate about artists work and continuing provision.
Artscompass is in response to Arts for Health Cornwall closing. It aims to create a web presence where practising artists can advertise their information, experience and  contact details so they can connect and potential employers and funders can find suitable artists for their work/projects without randomly scouring the web.

The Proposal
 A proposal which  is this free weebly website, http://artscompass.weebly.com/
Suggestions please for short explanations, headings for different art forms etc.

Each artist can have a page under their art form/s.
