‘arts on a shoe string’
Collectivising our efforts.

We applied for funding for an Art Gallery

project from V - Inspired.

With this money we turned the reception

room into an Art Gallery to run
Exhibitions and events from.

This required us to paint, renovate

and collaborate.

We created an Identity
‘Kunst Kiosk’.
And ran with it

Here are some pictures

from the renovations.

Jacob Beaney lead the project.

He was in charge of the exhibitions
>>>>>>BOSS

He built a website and promoted

the event, marketing the event to
local galleries, Arts groups and the Local
creative community

We learnt lots from this event and applied

these lessons to the second event.

We had lots of work submitted to which we

advertised an open call on ‘Arts jobs’.

We chose work from all around the country,

NTU and also some of our own work.

Here are some pictures
