Lots of excitment last week with belfast pritn workshop setting up shop in Victoria square. It was great to get a buzz going right from 7 o'clock and for all the hard work to pay off. You never quite realsie all the hard work that goes into getting these things organised. But it all came together in the end. So now BPWG is open in Victoria square -same opening hours as the centre. Level 1 below pizza express.look out ofr the bricks. Interesting to see what the theme nautical brings out in peoples minds, a few tall ships here and there but glad to see there was room for my flor piece, who said crochet and print do not mix??the McPeake school of music was a nice touch and really helped with the atmosphere. Set things buzzing.
We also have organised a BPW print kit Lino- which offeres the purchaser the opportunity to get 10% off prints in the gallery and a possible group submission show from the fruits of the lino cuts..next year
Dr Josephine McCormick won the £1000 print prize she has a large tall ships sail collograph at the far back of the exhibition, very bold. Josephine is having an exhibition on the theme in La Boca , opening night 11 August I believe. Getting the prize is a good boost. £1000 of unexpected money can go quite a long way these days.
Anyway lots going on this week on the gallery scene.......www.belfastgalleries.com and remember it's late night art.
