FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT: The final Vyner Street weekend and an album of First Thursday images

WE ARE THREE…. And indeed we are! Three years of defiantly doing this thing we do. Cultivate first burst in to life on a dramatic First Thursday back in September 2011. We took on the space on the Wednesday, put an artist call out that night, got the keys at 3pm on the Thursday afternoon,…
