Leave No Trace

It’s been three months since my last post, which is bad, but in my defence, we’ve had an animation festival in the interim. The festival went well, but it consumed a huge number of waking hours (and quite a few sleeping ones too).

Since then, we’ve held the selection process for Leave No Trace, and the exhibition is shaping up to be very interesting. It’s a shame we couldn’t accept more of the proposals because there were some great ideas, but space is limited and we have to select not just on the merits of individual pieces but also so that the exhibition works as a whole.

The next steps in preparing the exhibition are to compare costs with the funds available and talk to the Arts Council about the pieces we’d like to borrow from their collection. We’re also starting to think about the community elements of the exhibition, to involve a wide range of people in different ways, but with a few high-quality events rather than stretch ourselves too thinly and give people a poor introduction to digital art.
