  1. Shahla, you've got a lot of information here. Thank you for paring it down and adding the pictures. That makes it easier to understand.

    Maybe if you gave us an example of how the Arts Council could help you navigate through the art world, it would help other newcomers who are artists. Could you go to the Arts Council office and talk to someone there and report back to us?

  2. Shahla - Is this better?
    I'm not sure what I did, but when I logged on today, your 1st post was missing. So I poked around and found it in the "drafts" file. By removing the videos which are in the other posts and then hitting the "publish" button, I got this current version. I hope this is better! Lisa
