Unfortunately we're having problems with the building - the
roof is leaking in places. The protection of the artwork is of upmost
importance to us, so we've had to take the work down and close on particularly
rainy days.
This issue was what pushed our grand opening back. It was
meant to be fixed a long time ago. We tried to open before Christmas despite
the problems, but the weather and lackadaisical letting agents have forced us
to close until the roof is fixed.
We'd like to extend the exhibition to the end of January,
we'll release details about this in January.
We're still unclear exactly when the roof will be fixed,
work started and then stopped, the letting agents assure us it's all in-hand,
but we see no physical evidence of this. The longer we are forced to stay
closed, the harder it gets to pay the rent, so at the moment it's all very
frustrating.
In
the mean time we're working on Art's Council funding so we can put on an
amazing program of events and shows through 2014.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
