New Issue of WelshArtNow

"We are pleased to announce the September issue of WelshArtNow www.welshartnow.org is out now . This month's featured artist is Wendy Yeo. Wendy was born in Hong Kong and now lives in Wales. Working in water colour and employing Chinese brush methods she sees the Welsh landscape with a fresh vision.

Artist Paul Matosic asks how artists are coping in the current recession. There are artists who are able to make a living from their art alone but they are very few and far between. For the majority an art's practise has to be supplemented by part time work. Some artists do not make saleable' work and might be totally dependant on support from arts council funding. Are these grants still flowing as freely in the present climate? Paul considers all these questions and reaches some interesting conclusions.

We bring an interesting story from over the border, of how artist Gabriella Falk sought to bring fresh interest to a museum collection by creating a new art work in response to it."
