| Visual Arts in Cumbria and Lancashire – a new meaty report Posted: 05 Oct 2011 02:21 AM PDT An interesting 2011 consultancy report on the value of the visual arts in Cumbria and Lancashire (PDF link). They have to contend with a similarly snobby and sharp urban/rural split, like Staffordshire. It's not too bad, as such reports go — reasonably meaty and not much boilerplate. Although the the authors do wheel out Richard Florida rather uncritically at one point, and some of the terminology is necessarily 'officialese' since it's not really aimed at artists and creatives. My simplified digest of the conclusions… * Address the lack of understanding of the visual arts among local and regional officials. * Emphasise pre-war local examples of collecting and building around the arts, to show the long-term benefits of art. * Show the bottom-line impact of the arts on regional economic development. * Educate officials about the shakiness of certain types of 'impact' metrics. * Train organisations to engage effectively with local councillors. * Encourage respect for artist failure, but also push for the idea that standards can be raised and that art can be criticised. * Co-ordinate, concentrate and cluster media/press visits. (To which I might add, consider blogs as the press). * Plan ahead for brighter days, now. | ||
| Evaluating small arts websites Posted: 05 Oct 2011 12:53 PM PDT Chris Unitt blogs on evaluating online success for small arts organisations. The comments on the post point out that using Google Analytics is not sufficient for funded museums and arts organisations to meet government requirements on statistics reporting, since GA is not deemed an "ABCe 2-star accredited analytics tool". | ||
| Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:44 AM PDT The BBC is set to cut Birmingham media production yet again. 100 jobs in "Factual programming for BBC television and Radio 4″ could trundle off to Bristol and Cardiff, almost completing the hollowing out of national BBC programme production in the West Midlands. Birmingham's Dave Harte has commentary that links such moves to the city's digital strategy, or apparent lack of it, since Dave reports that the Council leader has…

| ‘Fresh’ at the Stoke Ceramics Biennial 2011 Posted: 14 Oct 2011 08:46 AM PDT 'Fresh' at the Stoke-on-Trent Ceramics Biennial 2011, a set on Flickr. 12 pictures from the Fresh exhibition at the Stoke Ceramics Biennial 2011, now on at the Spode factory in Stoke town (near the main rail station). | ||
| Creative/media tops age 14-15 careers poll Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:24 AM PDT An interesting new survey of schoolkids aged 14-15, asking which careers they think they might find interesting. "Media" came top of their list, "creative industries and the arts" came second. Charities, transport, government jobs, environment, and energy all scrape pitifully along the bottom of the rankings. Teenagers are also choosing what they perceive as the 'easy' options for their exams. As with all such surveys, one would want to know exactly how it was carried out. After 'the careers assembly' in the school hall? In the street on a Saturday? By filling in forms sent to schools? Was there a good demographic and geographic spread in the respondents? | ||

| Award-winning WWI drama heading to Belgrade Theatre Posted: 21 Oct 2011 01:17 AM PDT "MOST people don't know that in the First World War soldiers only spent six days at a time on the front line ... but they were the scariest six days of your life." | ||
| Review: One Man, Two Guvnors at the Alexandra Theatre Posted: 21 Oct 2011 01:14 AM PDT IT'S the morning after the night before and I'm in some discomfort.

| Jason Manford brings his new show to the LG Arena Posted: 21 Oct 2011 12:51 AM PDT LIFE as a comedian isn't always a barrel of laughs, but Jason Manford is still smiling. | ||
| Music: Review: Dudley International Piano Competition, at Dudley Concert Hall Posted: 21 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT The finals of the 32nd Dudley International Piano Competition proved a glittering occasion, bringing back the CBSO to the tremendous acoustic, immediate and straight, of what we still remember as Dudley Town Hall, and attracting a crowd of nearly 100 last-minute audience-members queuing to buy tickets atthe door. No town can afford to ignore a boost such as this, and I trust the local municipal fathers will be taking this success on board. | ||
| Links Round-Up: Forms of Reality, Words, and Empty Shops Posted: 20 Oct 2011 10:15 PM PDT  This is, of course, the rightlion, by Tony Cassidy, www.flickr.com/photos/tonycassidy/428424569/ Today's Roundup won't be mentioning GameCity (because we covered it last week) nor Christmas (nuff said). It will however be drawing your attention to: Fancy writing about art or culture? We are always interested in potential new bloggers, drop a line to editor@creativenottingham.com. If you are an artist or running a creative business and you would like to be a Guest Blogger over a fortnight, drop us a line to the same address. If you fancy reviewing theatre or comedy for the great local publication LeftLion, have a look at their job description. Note that you will be paid the same as for writing for Creative Nottingham. If you think you will be inspired by the technology at GameCity (oops) and you want to explore your inner electronic designer first, get down to Hackspace on Saturday for the Arduino (no, I don't either) Boot Camp. To cover the costs, the tickets are £43.05, and you will need your own laptop. If the virtual reality of GameCity (but note, no Father Christmas reference) is not to your taste, how about surrealism? NTU's Professor Lei Cox has assembled the fruit of 26 years of investigation into achieving surrealism in a free exhibition at the Bonnington Gallery in town. The exhibition entitled Twenty-six years later (a journey into fiction and back again) runs until 11 November and new photographs, new video installations and some retrospective video and photography pieces. Finally, does your auntie live in Erewash? If so, that might be enough to get you priority treatment when you apply for (small) funding as part of the Art in Empty Shop Scheme for Long Eaton and Ilkeston, the rEive initiative. More details from Creative Greenhouse, with contacts and application information – deadline 4 November. Editor: one out of two isn't very good. New blogger next week, please. | ||
