Can I just ask - looking at the prices, are you saying that it costs £100 a week to put pictures up in just one of the rooms then you have to pay £50 per day extra to have staff in there - if you don't pay for staff is the building unmanned?

I agree G, I hope it's a success but it looks a bit pricey.

So it's £100 for a week in one room, plus £300 to hang the pictures up and another £300 for some flyers.....

Personally I think it should be showing student's, and amateur's work, as well as those who've peraphs moved back to the area after being away at art school, but who as yet don't have a commercial client base.

I think people will go and visit the gallery, and hopefully buy, if the work is any good, and is fairly priced, but I really don't know many people who are in the position to pay out for exhibition space, with no guarantee of selling even one work.

Dawn, I'm really not getting on your case, but I'd hate for this to be the reason your gallery isn't a success. I can't think of any other galleries that don't work on commission of the work they actually sell, on behalf of the artists they are showing.

May I tell you that the 1st booking of the Gallery is from The Accrington College where a group of Students are working with Zap Grafitti from Liverpool and they will be exhibiting their art in The Hilton Gallery on May the 15th, with a preview on or around the 12th of May.Hope that imformation helps?I will always support students and up and coming artist if I feel their work is acceptable.

I think the fact that artists were expeced to pay to exhibit their work, unlike every other gallery who charge a commission on works sold, meant it stood very little chance of succeeding.

Shame.
