People have their opinions…
Just opened this month’s a-n. Only got as far as the letters page before I had to get up and walk away.
The author of that last letter visited our exhibition and tried to advise us on how the works should have been hung for maximum sales effect. Couldn’t understand at all that we were not aiming for sales.
It’s been an up and down week at the gallery. Visitors are dwindling, which seems to be the case for a lot of us. I got in touch with one of our local papers to see if they could give us a mention – asking a lot really considering the hundreds of other events on in the City, but they requested a photo which seems a good sign. With still two weeks to go, we need to keep the momentum going.
We had been talking about touring the works after this exhibition closes and thinking of ways we can start the ball rolling. By chance, we’ve been offered an exhibition in the MerseyBio unit of Liverpool University. The space is smaller, with more alcoves and windows, so it gives the opportunity of adapting to fit. This will hold us in good stead for looking to other venues.
It would be a nice idea to be able to fit all our works in a suitcase and just travel with it.
