Good afternoon (well it is here),
I'm Malcolm J. Watkins, Heritage Manager for Gloucester City Council. I
work within the Cultural Services service unit, and currently manage a
small team of Arts Development and Education officers, although my
personal background is in museums and archaeology. Gloucester has one
of the most important archaeological heritages in Britain, so our
archaeology and museums are significant elements of the service, of
which I am de facto 2nd officer.
Arts development is new to Gloucester, but making its presence felt.
The team is of high calibre, although we lost our senior member earlier
this year to the local college (hence my current management of the team)
and are just losing our public art development officer, Jo Plimmer, to
Somerset.
I've linked in mainly to find out a bit about what is going on
elksewhere, since generally we view our weakest spot as marketing.
I'm also curious to know if there is a straghtforward newsgroup for
artsy type things, since we will be adding to the team in the future,
and need to reach the widest possible market.
