Glad to see the majority of twitter feel as I do about #jimmycarrdestroysart. Great to question the art yes, but to destroy it is to remove it from the conversation.

It has been a long time coming but I'm so excited to be back at an @outsidein_uk exhibition tonight! Under A Blue Sky is @ArtspacePhoenix til 24 April showcasing the brilliant work of Alan Payler and the Darlington Community Art Project artists

[Laura Miles @LauraSMiles_]

So personal, so powerful! My thanks to everyone involved in this remarkable project and inspiring exhibition 🎨

Such a brilliant in conversation event with @SHONIBARESTUDIO and @afuahirsch on the #RASummerShow, I was excited to see it before and now I really can't wait

[Laura Miles @LauraSMiles_]

Fun, fairness, lightness and dark are the four key ingredients @SHONIBARESTUDIO says have gone into the making of the @royalacademy #RASummerShow or to put it simply - "I've curated a show that I'd want to see"

[Laura Miles @LauraSMiles_]

Very excited for this exhibition and so grateful to the artists who have shared their selection stories with @outsidein_uk

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

Great Twitter session with @TheMERL's @joevaugh4n this morning hosted by @amadigital! So inspiring to hear about ensuring accessibility and opening doors to collections with brilliant sheep images on top. In thanks, this is one of my favourites by @outsidein_uk artist Sandra Lott

@_DaniPatrick @_HOACC @amadigital It is was a true rabbit hole and we didn't even get to Alice!

I think google is going to see some interesting Roald Dahl and Disney searches off the back of it!

[Laura Miles @LauraSMiles_]

Brilliant Flipped Book Club with session @_HOACC and @_DaniPatrick.

Origami, Aladdin and Roald Dahl helping break down what we think we know and what else we are being told!

Thanks to everyone at @amadigital for #AMAInclusivity day - it has been amazing. So great to feel part of something bigger when a lot of us work in tiny teams or alone -now a part of collective change.

Also.. if you decide to put 'cause positive trouble' on t-shirts let us know!
