Allan, thank you for the encouragement and I do hope you will get involved for your comment in regard to the Nordic competition has a lot to do with this. This is and will be a artist for artists project. We all have some additional skills beside our craft some are promoters, some know how to manage, others know how to receive visiting guests etc. We must function like a body and each body has its functional parts but the whole body benefits.
Yes, there will be workshops and these will be set up in such a way that visiting artist will benefit. Everyone that gets involved will benefit and to benefit one must get involved. I am soliciting hotel director/managers and have started negotiations with the Arkadia hotel chain and I am not just looking to rent a room for the night.
Let me share to what extent my expertise lies. I spent ten years in the humanitarian field. One of my functions was to do assessments, assist with project planing and in writing project proposals. I am talking about million $ projects USAID type stuff. My last project involvement was in Bosnia a food for pensioners project, worth 5.4 mill, funded by USAID.
My idea is that if we do not pool together well I hate to think. Let me put it this way the artists that are making it know the rode they had-to travel in order to get their work out there.
