Rememberance of Plants Past, 2011. Ink on paper. Detail

PLEASE VOTE FOR ME - Annabel Tilley 

The three campaigns I would like to promote in the future through a place on the AIR Council are

1. The support of new graduates
- campaigning for the provision of increased professional development opportunities in
the community for new and emerging artists: artists talks, practical workshops
& expert business advice.
- this provision, funded by the Arts Council/local councils, could also support artist-led organisations
by paying them to deliver the specialist APD programme.

2. The support of artist-led spaces
- A campaign to explain the value of these hard-working, under-resourced organisations                                to the public, government, businesses, schools etc to ensure increased public and commercial
support for these vital organisations that enhance all our communities.

3. A campaign to ensure artists get paid
- a campaign that ensures all UK public galleries and museums and RFO’s pay the artists
who work for them, and distinguish carefully between volunteers [who want to volunteer] and
artist-interns who wish to be paid,
and should be paid.
- a campaign to ensure that commercial galleries do not exploit their volunteer interns, and
actually provide paid follow-up opportunities
