Art is all about opinion. There is no right or wrong answer. But because of this, we as artists invest so much of ourselves into our work and to show that to the world can make you feel exposed and vulnerable. It's often hard to trust your opinion, that what you're creating is of a high quality, and it takes guts to share that work with others.

I love writing, but we have had our difficulties.

This blog was written by Puffin Ethics a young spoken word artist from Herefordshire.
I could probably write a small book about my experience making a film with the Rural Media company for this Random Acts Project, but I've tried really hard not to. I also tried hard not to open with a clique...obviously not hard enough. No one's got time for books anymore anyway, that's why you want to make a film, right? I'll try and keep it snappy.

The second day of Affinity Festival arrived and I was super excited for what would come.

Throughout the week we had been working on making decorations for our area of the festival, the Space. Having spent weeks coming up with design ideas and sourcing materials, now was the time to put it into reality. Ola, myself and Leila had all been part of the same team working on this area.

The weekend before last a very exciting festival was held at Nottingham Contemporary for 15-25 year olds. Affinity Festival was a huge success, starting on Friday at 12pm and ending Saturday at 12am.

We're approaching the time when many students have left school or university, who may not have yet made plans or found a job. What do they do?

A new blog by Arts Award Youth Network Project Manager, Emrys Green, sharing insights and ideas from his experience of doing and advising on Arts Award. Informal ramblings designed to give some useful information about how you can achieve your own Gold Arts Award.

Gold is about preparing you for the creative industries - in a way A levels don't often do (in my opinion). Keeping a broad cultural experience is exciting.
