Ok.. well just had a look at some other blogs for some inspiration and I can't see any action plans. So here goes.
To Plan. - Achievable goals include;
Once I actually have some work to exhibit then I will enter Bangor open, I guess that'll be within the year.
Rhyl gallery, I will approach sooner and when I have work I will find out if I can be part of an exhibition.
To be honest I just want to be a sculptor and I have my whole life for it. In the mean time I would just like to keep practicing, making art and trying to get my name and work out there.
I suppose in this list I am to write the small steps (1 week) that include;
Subscribe to newsletter for opportunities,
Research Ba course in Chester,
Follow tweets etc.
Bigger steps;
I will collaborate with an amateur poet to create a piece of art work before Easter,
Oh yea, to declare myself, self employed within the year (this will depend on doing a Ba this year or next).
Local library exhibition within the year,
Finding voluntary work, by the summer,
Opening an art studio (group or solo) within the year,
Work with another artist before Easter (probably my biggest step, because of the timing... will I make it. You will have to keep following to find out!!!!!!) lol.
(Omg, what is this feeling...? ambition?)
To Act, to take action. - To start with I began to follow gallery's on twitter (thank you for the links, Wendy). So;

https://twitter.com/#!/ARTSTHREAD
https://twitter.com/#!/ArtsPro
https://twitter.com/#!/ace_national
https://twitter.com/#!/_GALERI_

Awesome!
I decided I am not design orientated though.
I will certainly be going to Rhyl Library, probably try and get there tomorrow after college if I make it in time and have a talk with someone about exhibiting work and volunteering or any opportunities there.
I set up an Etsy, an Axis and a Flikr, I bookmarked; http://www.artsprofessional.co.uk/, http://www.wai.org.uk/about-us, http://www.artsthread.com/how-arts-thread-works, http://www.qest.org.uk/ and signed up/followed/liked, those that I could.
Also I spoke to a friend in Canada... and if anyone is interested in local Canadian artists or art works;

http://www.thestallgallery.com/
http://www.usask.ca/kenderdine/home.html
http://www.akagallery.org/
http://www.rougegallery.ca/
And these are just in one city.
I am considering staying in Canada for the summer and might just volunteer there instead.
Sounds like research is under way and subscribing is done.
From what I understand/remember, the reflection section, is for intervals from now on.
Thanks.
