    hope hides beneath all where it doesn't leap shining

    rapid promise

    and that, blog categories, is all I can afford to enter today, which is for me a part of yesterday. I've been working hard on living 9-5 and not burning the midnight oil, in an attempt to get up early and begin a 'normal routine' of life so that somehow this will improve matters here at home for my girls.

    Workshop Opportunities in the South West

    James Wooldridge's picture

    Following on from the successful 'Challenging Discrimination in Cornwall' conference and the wonderful conference in Birmingham celebrating Open Up's work across the country, I would like to offer those interested in the South West the opportunity of hosting a workshop on challenging discrimination in their own locality.

    Open Up has some funds available to cover a venue, refreshments and a contribution to travel expenses with the intention of holding several workshops across the region depending on demand.

    Julias the rainbow dragon

    Well its official.  I am a hopeless failiure at Blogging on here.  Ironicly, yesterday my husband set me off blogging through wordpress instead of trying to keep up to date with a web site and I'm finding it really easy and I'm getting quite into it.  Have a look if you like

    Dragon Heart

    Well we've been a bit rubbish at blogging on here but if you use facebook search for artspace and ask to be a friend.  We've video clips and pictures etc on there where its quicker and easier to up load.

    Our dragon has evolved.

    Our initial vision was to have him hatching out of an egg in fire. 

    Our test dragon was cardboard and tussue paper (Augustus the rainbow dragon with no wings)

    Hi everybody,

    Well the Tired Eyes initiative has taken many twists and turns. It started out intended as a fringe comedy show which never happened, veered towards a booklet and ended up as a website. What an interesting journey.

    Back to life, back to reality - that was on the radio this morning and it's a fitting song for the Open Up team who are coming back down to earth after a couple of months of living, breathing, eating and sleeping the Open Up conference!

    conference

    One hour to go to the start of the conference and I am sitting in my 14th floor, rather swish, hotel room getting a little bit of quiet time.

    Thought I'd post the image from up here, taken from the webcam of my netbook. The real view is a lot nicer than the image, despite being a grey morning.

    Open Up Conference's picture

    Well it's the Friday before our anti-discrimination conference -we've packed up the van, briefed the speakers, printed the programmes, and stuffed what feels like about a million delegate packs. So all that we need now are our wonderful delegates to make it happen!

    We're all feeling prety excited about things, and if you're coming, we hope you are too. We've got an action packed schedule lined up, with workshops, singing, dancing and prizes - and much much more.
