I have just finished working with Damian Hughes. I have heard Damian talk a number of times now and so I am quite familiar with the content. The challenge I like to set is to see if I can depict it in a different way. There is always a new way of interpreting the information.

Wow, this seems like I am catching up with a lot of stuff. I am working my way back to post some work from May and June. I seem to have done a load of stuff since then!

NI11 is the national indicator to ensure engagement in the arts. I was shocked to find out that reading a book is not a cultural activity, but reading a book within a book club is. Kareoke is also a cultural activity. By that rationale, being in a band must be? It seems they have it in for the solo artist!

At the beginning of June I helped design and capture the Jam Packed session for KCC. They are one of four local authorities in the South to take on NI11 (engagement of the arts) as one it’s priorities.

As part of the session which was titled ‘Jam Packed’ a game of ‘Jamopoly’ was run and teams of Kent based arts organisations brainstormed initiatives and events to attract more visitors and engagement in the arts. The theme took it’s cues from the Monopoly board and that made it’s way into the Scribing.
