Open Exhibition preview
The Preview evening for our first Open Exhibition was simply amazing – a stream of visitors throughout the evening, including some well known artists, made it a bigger success than we had dared hope for. Without exception we received some very positive feedback – everyone said what a brilliant space it was and how great […]
Open exhibition installed
The Open exhibition is now installed and we have to say, it looks fabulous! We have filled our project space and it has completely transformed from an empty, although somewhat cleaner, old mill into a vibrant art space and has truly become the ‘urban intervention’ we envisaged. We will post some images after the preview […]
Exhibition submissions

Further progress
Since hanging the first artworks on the right side walls (looking down into the gallery/project space), there are now hanging rails along the old mill wall on the left hand side. Being a solid old brick wall, we did not want to have to keep drilling and plugging it every time we change the work […]
We’re in!
At long last, after all of the cleaning up and work being done, we have finally moved in to our studio spaces and have hung the first pictures on the project space walls. Quite an achievement, considering the time and budget we have had to work with. We all met up last night in our […]
Operation clean-up
Since we got the keys to the mill in early April, we have made some great progress. As you might imagine, having stood empty for three years, the building was rather dirty and in need of some TLC. We set to, armed with buckets, mops, paint, brushes, brooms and Henry the vacuum cleaner, on a […]
