Those amongst you with keen eyes may have noticed that there is a slight error on one of the emailed invites - to confirm the 2nd April is a Thursday not Wednesday.
All Jeff's fault of course!!
Today has been spent hanging Frieda's work, a really vibrant show is the result and once Cheryl has brought her work along for the bottom gallery we will have one of our most energetic exhibitions to date, but then that's just my opinion - you'll have to make up your own mind!
In between the two exhibitions we have yet another piece of art work - Jeff has been working on the staircase having taken up the wine stained carpet. Lots of sanding, painting and varnishing later, it's looking good - not quite there yet - we have still the landing to complete -so temporary measure - yet another purchase from Ikea, how many rugs can one store stock? And tell me why is it impossible to go into Ikea and only buy the exact product you need - does everybody end up buying candles? or is this just a terrible weakness only I can admit to. "Hi my name is Judy and I am a Ikea 'nick knack' addict" - there must be a support group somewhere...
We've had some great news with forthcoming shows - the word is spreading and we've had talks with two artists looking to show into the new year. We've also confirmed a summer showing of work from an Indian artist who we met at the recent arts fair at the Canal Basin.
And btw... for the girls out there, as a result of the arts fair...on the weekend I went over to the studio belonging to 'Trash Blooms' - Claire makes designs bespoke shoes and bags - using second hand & vintage shoes she'll tailor a design to suit your exact requirements and with a forthcoming wedding in mind, a bargain was had - £40.00 - great deal. Picture on the way...
See all and many at the PV - that's this Thursday the 2nd April 6-9pm
TTFN Judy...

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
