| Hi Everyone, Welcome to our December newsletter |
Thank you to everyone that braved the snowed and came along to our auction last night and also to people that stayed at home by their computers to bid online. The auction was a new venture for us so thank you everyone for your support in making it such a success. Also, a huge thank you goes to all the artists for their generous donations without whom the event would not have been possible.
Even though its Dec. we aren't quite ready to wind-down for Christmas just yet! Nicola Smith and Phil Davenport are now using our residency space to create a response to their individual residencies at 501 Arts Space Chongqing, China earlier this year. Their open studio will be launched with a preview evening on 9 Dec. from 6:30 - 8:30pm (with a talk beforehand) and run until 17 Dec.
Just to let you know we will be closed for Christmas from 24 Dec. 2010 and re-open in the New Year on 4 Jan. 2011.
In the New Year we will be starting our preparations for Chinese New Year festivities to mark the Year of the Rabbit.
See you all soon!
