“When is the next on line show?” you ask again and again, we well could do it again, there were lots of positives to the on-like shows and we did enjoy inviting so many of our fellow artists to join us. We could do it again, we cold put together an Autumn programme of on-line…
Eight Years ago this week when the Southbank Undercroft down by the river was under serious threat of closure and redevelopment. We cancelled the show we had in place that month and that First Thursday (back when First Thursday was still a thing and put a last minute show called “We Are All Skateboarders” as…
