Welcome to the new Artist Demo Days blog

Hello everyone, it’s Ali B here.

After what seems like a longer time than it has actually been, our society has slowly started to emerge and make steps towards returning to a normal life…well something closely resembling it anyway.

There have been many hideous things we have had to deal with in the last few months but there have been many wonderful things too and that brings me to Artist Demo Days. After the stark realisation that our livelihoods were slipping away before our eyes, the six of us came together for moral support and, if I’m honest, a bit of commiseration and weekly gin drinking.

Not that we thought we were in any way suffering the worst of it, I can only speak personally in that the business I had fought so hard to build up on my own was in danger and no one can give you better advice than those who are in the same position as you. And so Artist Demo Days was born and a group of lovelier and more supportive people I couldn’t have hoped to find including people who I have admired for such a long time I never dreamed that I would be in a position to call them colleagues.

This website is going to be developing as we continue to expand on what we do as a group and tackle the current climate and our own commitments - we look forward to you visiting us often and seeing you at an event very soon.
