First Day At Rhubarb East Goes Down a Storm...
03/12/2009
It was a great experience for Wilson to meet the London based photographers who had booked up for the first day of one to one advice sessions in Pixley Street. The hot desk was hot, with photographers bringing a range of issues to the table. Some wanted advice on projects in development, others on the potential for funding, or showing, or where to take the work. One was going so fast making work that he wasn't taking time to market it properly, another had lost his way...
So far the feedback seems to be that Wilson did a good job, but as soon as we have the total feedback, we'll publish it. Look out now for the Finance Days, with Wilson and David Birkitt, to happen on Tuesday 19th January 2010, at the Roof Unit...

Business Workshop:
Investing in The Image: Finance, Funding and Running Your Photo Business
Tuesday 19th January 2010
There will be a maximum group of 10 participants and the short presentations from
each presenter will leave time for questions from the floor, resulting in shared knowledge.
There will be four one-hour sessions, all with the same content:
11.00 am-12.00 pm
12.30 pm - 1.30 pm
2.00 pm - 3.00 pm
3.30pm - 4.30 pm
Please decide beforehand which session time you prefer.
Places cost £60 per person, to be paid upfront by cheque or on the day, after accepting the terms and conditions of the booking, which is that once the place is booked and so therefore confirmed, by the rhubarb office, this is a binding contract and in such cases as non show by the participant, the fee of £60 is still payable against an invoice submitted by Rhubarb.
If you're interested in attending one of these sessions (with Rhonda only) or being part of a group of 10 working around finances (with Rhonda and David as outlined above) please contact Sean McGarry
