2012
The last art walk is now done and I am very pleased to say that even on a wet Monday in October I did get one participant. In total 7 people attended throughout the summer, and their feedback will help me to develop the residency and art walks further. There will be more emphasis on the walking aspect of the residency, as I favor the movement of art out of the gallery and into the everyday places. Walking puts us into a discreet space both mentally and temporally, which allows time to create and just enjoy being in the moment.
THE FUTURE
Sundays in the Summer would be a better bet and to that end I am already planning the walks for next year. With financial support from Colin Taylor via the Community Partnerships East, part of Surrey County Council, and help from Epsom & Ewell, Surrey Arts, The Epsom Common Association, these walks and future ones will be possible.
Now I am applying for Arts Council Funding for 2013, so fingers crossed.
