Yes, I too didn't want to sound negative, just from my experience of galleries this is an unusual model but I wish you all the luck in the world and I think it's fantastic that there are some new initiatives like this going on.

Ages ago I posted on here that the route out of Accrington's economic hole was to concentrate on the Arts and Culture and to develop a strategy that promoted the town to outsiders as a place to visit - new galleries being one good way of adding to that strategy.

I just hope that other initiatives start to spring up to support and enhance what you're doing so that there is a critical mass of activities.
