Well the annual festive show is open and ready for more customers, it was great to see everyone out last night enjoying the fruits of BPW members labour and I'd like to share something with you that a non member said to me, she said she has been to many different groups and tried to attend many different organisations while she has been in Northern ireland and she found that BPW is the only place that she has been actually welcomed with open arms and found all the people very friendly and open to have a chat and a discussion about anything.Particularly if your not from NI.
I think perhaps we loose sight of that we are over 70 members now and I would also say that we are a very well travelled and open minded bunch, hay not always but that's the thing about ego's sometimes the ego gets in the way.
It depends on your drama going on in your head, what exactly goes on in your head? So it was great to see some team work going on to get the show together and I would encourage you if you have not already to have a look and support the work of the artists and the workshop.
We are not a commercial gallery any profit does not go into an individuals hands it goes back into running the gallery. We take less commission that many of the commercial galleries because you know what it's hard making a living as a creative person in Northern Ireland particularly when you want to keep your creative integrity.
If you went to the Spanard last night I hope you enjoyed Terry Hooleys record collection, I think it's second to none.........................he's a special man.
