Meeting with the Apex was last Friday (18th November).
A lot was discussed, with potential deals being presented before Nick Wells (Programming at the Apex) went away to discuss it with his colleagues.
He quickly returned and said they would be happy to provide the venue to us for free, on the condition that they keep all box office money – a deal we were more than happy to accept.
I also proposed public moderation at this event, which was met with great enthusiasm. On top of this I have now incorporated Elize Kellman in the decision making process, iphone 5s refurbished and am getting feedback and input into the event, which is exciting in its own right.
This weekend is the next residential meeting for the Arts Award Participation Project, where I suspect we will be discussing and developing our ideas further.
Key points I wish to raise and address include the price of tickets, the distribution of information and the workshops. Having experience in gig management the actual celebration event is not too big of a worry at this point, although in an ideal world the wheels will all be in motion by December so I can focus on my A-Level resits.
