Online events:
Open Eye Gallery - Ciara Leeming and Marge Bradshaw talking to Emma Case about their micro commissions.  Really helpful in relating to approaching a commission, what is the "why?", sharing feelings about approaching and involving people.  Valuable identifying with how they work and what they do and the process/product of a project.  Identifying with others gives me confidence in my work and future.
