Exciting developments on Portland, which is to get its own arts centre.
Katherine Bryan-Merret and Samantha Polley have lined up an old factory building in Fortuneswell which started life as a Victorian steam laundry. They intend to provide studio space for around 35 artists, as well as gallery space for exhibitions, events and teaching sessions.
They aim to open on January 1, but before that they plan an exhibition at the building in December which is intended to raise money to help get the whole thing going. The plan is that artists will donate 40 per cent from sales they make at the show.
The more contributors the merrier - but a big name or two would be a help... Any ideas or influence, anyone?
