Where you have hope, so you must also have fear in equal measure. It's just a question of foregrounding the hope and backgrounding the fear. I want to see more. Good luck with it. Wish I could just pop round and visit :) Brilliant.

I'll try to explain how we're doing things better in another post, but essentially we asked all our artsy friends to come meet on a Saturday and propose some broad themes for our shows. Like this month's theme is Transitions & Change. So we picked the show themes and show dates, and then ask everyone to come up with a piece or series on that theme, and we put the collected work up for First Fridays - which in Phoenix is the day that the entire town comes out to all the art galleries and looks at art. We're giving students a chance to show work, and giving people who may not have a huge body of work yet a place to show. And we meet on Third Saturdays for critical review sessions to help each other do better work. Zé Nuno, I will try to share more of what we're doing in video online. I did start a Ning social network for the gallery but so far, despite some initial "that sounds good" noises from our friends, only one other local person has joined besides myself. But we do also email people and tell people face to face. I hope you do this in Iowa, David. It's been a great experience so far. The "regular" (?) arts community has either been too snobby or to chaotic for me. This has been a way to create the kind of community I want to be involved with - relatively stable, fun, supportive. No popularity contests, no backstabbing. It's a teeny slice of heaven. Everyone who wants to should steal this idea.

I really wish that you get it working in a sustainable way. I also have some friends space that I want to help to do some kind of node101, but it is in Lisbon and I am in Amsterdam, will see how it goes. :-) I think for that kind of places to work we really need some community to get together periodically on those places, I really hope you manage something like that. You could broadcast some meetings on the internet for a way to get more (local) people to be involved and interested? That’s a lovely idea.

Would love to pass by. Almost impossible for average Joe to afford any sort of dedicated space for such things in London, property/rent prices being so ridiculous. So you have to be inventive in ways to show art. Thanks for the tour. Beautiful space. Would love to pass by.
