Enchanted Encounters Evaluation Exercise
Today I completed a reflective exercise for Intobodmin as part of their “Enchanted Encounter project .The project started in July 2021 and is due to end in July 2022
Unfortunately I ended up having to suspend my contract end of January due to physical ill health leading to hospitalisation.
One thing that falling ill has really bought to the forefront is how little people working in community arts are paid. I’ve never earned enough to save a penny and as a freelancer i can only apply for universal credit of £75 a week . So i’m wondering a lot if I can really afford to go on being a creative working in community arts?
I am not yet able to share the outcomes of the task yet . I will do once the team have agreed what to share in the public domain. So for now I can just say There were days on this job I felt ” I’m being paid to do what I love” and there are things that I look back on and wish I had done better and an opportunity was missed by trying to do too much.
But there are some nice moment capture on our project instagram feed.
