We had an email last week from someone interested in starting some life classes - Briony Lewis works as life model and has asked us if we can accommodate her over the summer months - Briony seems very enthusiastic and has great experience working with different groups, Briony's sessions will be untutored and are due to start on the 17th May (Sunday) each session will last for 3 hours from 10am until 1pm. Email your interest to the normal Fishbone address.
Working our way up to the private view this Thursday - have just been down to order the food so that's the main thing sorted !!
Also Jeff and I went to an exhibition taking place in the Alan Berry building at Cov' Uni' worth a visit during your lunch if you are around the area. Spoke to the artist, Jiancheng Ma, he expressed an interest in using Fishbone in the future to show his work along with that of his fellow artists from his home collective - wonder if we could get an Arts Council Grant for a fact finding trip to China - worth a try!!
One last thing - went to the auction raising funds for the degree shows - went on impulse - spent too much - ouch! Now Jeff is threatening to spend the equivalent money on fishing paraphernalia - how many rods can one man need - double ouch!!
Post again after PV.

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
