Hi all! I'm a trainee journo on Cardiff Uni's Diploma Course. I have been working with Catherine Paskell on my most recent project and we think that YOU GUYS will actually have the best words of wisdom! Please get in touch - your info is REALLY valuable!

I am creating a piece of online journalism called Capturing Cardiff. The aim is to capture the thoughts and opinions of artists, musicians, writers, producers, designers, actors - in fact, any and all creative types who live and work in the city. The final article will be published on my blog.

The article deadline is Friday 11th December - and I really want your feedback! - so please get in touch in good time...

Give us a snapshot of your experiences. What's your passion? Does Cardiff provide a good platform for your talent? Do you feel well represented in venues and by organisations? Is it a struggle to get your work seen/heard/appreciated? Which venues give the most support to local artists...which don't!?

This community has done a great job of connecting Cardiff's eclectic arts scene but what are your thoughts on networking using online communities? Does it create opportunities for REAL WORLD creative partnerships and collaboration?

It would be brilliant to have as much feedback as possible, both to help me develop my article-writing and hack skills, but also for us all to have more open dialogue about our own experiences living and working here.

You can post your thoughts on the bottom of this Blog - or for more anonymous replies, or to chat face to face, email me directly at: jamescraig123@yahoo.com. Or tweet me at: http://twitter.com/mistercraig

Also, feel free to send through links to your work, websites, twitter, blog - its a multimedia project so all the better for me to link to exciting content.... And I'd LOVE to get some quick voice clips from any willing participants!

I'm excited to hear what everyone thinks :)
