Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam!
We are about to close the fishbone arts forum, not because we want to, but because it is plagued by porn merchants, viagra peddlers and other low life...
The genuine members have been faced with a torrent of rubbish and consequently the forum is all but a wreck. We have had to continually ban and strike the rubbish posts, put in place a system of membership by application only and now, of course, have a torrent of membership applications coming by mail from the same idiots
If you want to keep the forum open then please contact us and express your support. We will then do all we can to make sure this can't happen.
If we do not get the support we need then we will close the facility a fortnight from now
Thanks

Post Private View
'another one bites the dust' Thursday saw the latest private view at the gallery. As ever we were still rushing around up the very last minute, that really adds to the excitment of the evening - well that's what I keep telling myself anyway.
The evening was exceptionally fine - we saw a great deal of new faces, which is always a pleasure.
Asha loved the night - he was holding court to his vast array of admirers - everybody wanted to speak to him and hear his story. As soon as one person left him, another was there to hear it all again. He was like a movie star for the evening...the 9 o'clock end went out of the window and its was probably more like 11 before the last person left.
One of the best private views we had so far - a fitting beginning for the 2nd year of the gallery.

Fishbone Gallery
- Who, What, Where, are Fishbone Gallery ?
- Longford, Coventry, United Kingdom
- The Fishbone Gallery is something of a rarity. A gallery committed to promoting the diversity of the visual arts of the West Midlands, that supports new artists and encourages them to show work that otherwise might not receive the attention it deserves. We are not primarily a profit making enterprise, and therefore we can afford to show experimental work that would never gain proper exposure through commercial channels. We also host a wide range of community projects and events, clubs and classes, run by specialist practitioners with thorough knowledge of their particular disciplines. We welcome all people of all ages and all cultural backgrounds, to come along and be part of what we do. Our mission is to make art and art practise an integral part of the lives of the people of Longford, and to encourage a broader audience for the visual arts in Coventry and the West Midlands. The gallery is run by Judy Kay and Jeff Hatt
