Easter
Hi all
It has been around a year since we started negotiating the use of the Frank Moore rooms for a gallery and what a year it has been (to coin a phrase!) We've probably done the last major refit, the stairs area - all is looking really well, we've even got a 'posh' new desk to use in the office area - very 'Cork Street'.
Jeff before medication...
...and after medication!
Jeff and I went to the Lake District over the Easter weekend - wedding in Ullswater - the weather was brill' and the place - breathtaking - not quite Longford. However after driving down to London on Good Friday and then up to Cumbria on the Saturday I was a little knackered - my poor car! my poor bum! Great day though - very romantic - completely lost on Jeff who's only thought was to how he couldn't fish - having left all his rods back home - ha!
(Shoes were great, lots of comments - see previous entries)
Back to arty things and once again we've had great support from the Telegraph, with a full page in the arts section today! Well done to Julie for great copy and Jeff for pictures. To end on a quote... Fishbone Gallery - 'the gallery to visit this month'.... oh yes!
for now....Judy

First weekend of new exhibition....
Thursday just saw the private view for our 4th show - Frieda and Cheryl's work was very well received, the show runs from the 4th April until the 01st May. We're now in the midst of organizing the next show, of which details will be on the website very soon.
I'm looking forward to having some time away from the day job (easter vacation) although I anticipate some of the days will be spent devising funding applications for future exhibitions - at least I should be able to get through the two weeks without having to mark students work - I'm actually up to date - hooray.
We're off to the Lake District this weekend - Easter Sunday wedding to attend, thus the need for my new shoes (see previous blog entry) Ben and Emma are looking after the gallery and having the house to themselves for the weekend - hope they remember to open up....we are, btw way open all over the holiday weekend with the normal opening hours.

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
