Anyone like to say yes?
More on the Portland Arts Centre project...
Katherine Bryan-Merret and Samantha Polley have now arranged a long lease on the Old Laundry at Fortuneswell for the arts centre which they are planning to open on Jan 1 next year.
As reported here before, they are organising an exhibition in December to help raise the money they need, and are appealing for other artists to get involved by entering their work. Artists will be asked to donate 40% of what they receive from sales. The show will go on from December 6 to 19.
Samantha said: “We’re hoping that dozens of artists from around here will support the event, but it would be nice if we could somehow get a really big name involved. Damien Hirst’s office said no, unfortunately, but you never know what might happen…"
So a big name would be rather nice, in terms of helping the girls raise funds to get the whole thing off to a good start. But where can he/she be found?
Anyone with any ideas, please contact Kat or Sam: portlandartscentre@hotmail.co.uk
