Number 4, Broad Street:
We finally did it!
They haven’t quite signed the dotted line, but we’re one step closer to moving to Broad Street.
Number 4, Broad Street has been being talked about between Stoke’s Creative Development Team and AirSpace since last year. A comprehensive feasibility study has been being drawn up care of New Media Partners, gathering interest from across the city.
It was initially suggested that we would move in March ’07 and with the electricity being cut off in our current building just before Christmas we were eager to get the negotiations on the way. On the 3rd May ’07 planning permission was finally agreed.
We have been patient and it will be worth the wait. Number 4, Broad Street is right in the middle of the Cultural Quarter, across the road from the Potteries Museum and much closer to the centre of town. It has heating, hot water and more importantly electricity! We will have more space for artists and a real office for the MD’s so we can improve on the family atmosphere we have been striving for.
The gallery will be much more accessible for visitors and there is even room for a caf and smaller gallery space for hiring out!
AirSpace are extremely grateful to get permission to move to their new home, and we would like to thank the S-O-T’s Cultural Development Team in-particular for all there hard work and perseverance
So get excited everyone, we’re on the move.
