After my interview at Bolton University, I have been offered a conditional placement onto the third year.

Sponsorship Email

As I knew donations would play important role within supporting and assisting finances leading up to the show, I decided to compile a sponsorship letter which I could send to local organisations and companies requesting financial assistance.

Exhibition Spaces - Leigh/Bolton

Bolton and Leigh Exhibition locations

Both ourselves (Foursight Art) and Canverse Collective have had the go-ahead to exhibit at the Leigh Turnpike and Bolton Market place. Both these spaces are great locations to invite members of the public to the shows opening nights. Both spaces are large, well lit and have a mass of wall space to utilise.

Bolton University group meeting

We arranged to visit the Bolton students at their studio to discuss plans for our future exhibition. Although we have constant discussions over the Facebook page, it was ideal to converse face to face.
During this meeting possible venues and dates/times where proposed. Downtex Mill, and Bolton Market place where the choices the Bolton studies where currently in progress talks with. Although we had organised plans with Leigh Turnpike for our 'Foursight Art' show,  we felt as a group it was still important for us to link in with the Bolton exhibition.

Although working towards exhibiting in both shows and curating our group exhibition is going to be a huge amount of hard work, organising and team work, I believe the benefits of these experiences will aid us in future activities.
