I am gutted. Southwell Artspace is closing. 6 artists will be 'homeless' and Southwell will lose a jewel of a gallery. The usual story – not enough funding. I will miss the exciting exhibitions, the lovely people who run it and the artists too
Various people have asked me how I intend to develop HMS… as if I have ambitions to become a chain. This is a compliment I suppose, but BIG is soo last decade. My ambition is to remain sef-sufficient – only relying on funding for icing on the cake. The thought of setting up more spaces does not fill me with joy.
Those who encourage me to expand think my motivation for doing so might be financial gain. HA HA HA!
