Meeting Summary: Food for Thought

The meeting with Nigel brought up the following points:

- More ways to raise the cash than taking money at the door:
- Talks/Lectures?
- Refreshments
- Books/Poster Additions
-...so plenty to think about on that front...

- People to contact:

Catherine Dixon (mail@catherinedixon.co.uk) Deals with Space and Dates of Exhibition (I know there is an exhibition till the 14th June but perhaps after?)*Must email*

Kristina Niles (kristinaniles@stbridefoundation.org) For any general advice that I must consider when setting up a exhibition. *Must email also*

- Nigel also mentioned that the St Bride Foundation were considering at some point to hold a similar exhibition idea but no-one was available to organise it...here I can step in, but I feel that there will be plenty of support (hope anyways!) for what I'm trying to do.

- Trying to collect artwork to submit to the exhibition is going to be tricky to organise; approaching Alan Kitching is a possibility however Nigel did mention an Amercian designer that they held work for, that might be willing to submit. WTS (Matthew Carter)

- Lastly I must organise a time to look at the resources (other than the ones I know) that the library have to offer but I feel don't make so well known. They have a working press and a few type cases that I might be able to use at some point. Interesting!

I have my talk with Alan Kitching today so plan to go early to take a few photographs...had a quick peek yesterday and hid stuff is AMAZING, printing with the most interesting inks and finishes on all sorts of media, plus incredibly thoughtful and inventive compositions. Already go a number of questions...but I hope a don't get nervous because clamming up isn't going to be helpful here and if I can build up a good conversation his help could be invaluable.
