Hi Janet,  I applied for work in Wollongong but my qualifications…and being an artist may disadvantage me! They think it will take away from me being a teacher…Education Officer at my local gallery! Humph! Too few advantages

for gaining this much education!

Hi, Flossie,  I agree with them. It will take away from your work and your incentive to work. It’s a hard one, juggling art and work. And dealing with other people’s perceptions of what is good for you or indeed, how long you will stay in the job is what employers see when they realize that you are an artist.

Anyway, something will come along that will be just perfect. Have you tried artists in schools programs or grants for community programs?

Flossie to self: A pathetic excuse! This is like saying to a musician, she can’t sell musical instruments because she plays herself. Being how ‘good’ an artist disqualifies one from being an art teacher? !!!@#%&+

Staircase to nowhere and I’ve already fallen off it

Paul decided that Eight Unseated was his first choice to install and would set the tone for the rest of the placed art. He was right! We didn’t get it finished in time for the photographer. But it made a great picture in the newspaper half installed.
