The work load has increased some what in the last few weeks. We recently found out that we had received funding fro the Cultural Olympiad for our 2011 programme, which is fantastic news! However we need to confirm other funding for the programme in early December, meaning its funding application time. One of our aims is to get more funding to pay for the time we put into the organisation on a more representative scale.
A couple of weeks ago we had the launch of the S Mark Gubb, Union, project. The event had a wonderful atmosphere and the gusty wind certainly helped the flags he produced fly. A bugle player played ‘The Colour’s’ as we raised the flags atop the Usher Gallery. The flags will remain on top of the building until November. For more information see:

At the end of the month we have a family in residence as Townley and Bradby come to stay in a windmill with their children. They will have three types of events for people to attend, an artists talk, child led tour of the city, and open house sessions. They intend to explore the use of the family in producing art work, and will open up their residency to show people their lifestyle and working methods.
