Centre Fold Gallery Opening Night

Well here it is people…The Readerswives Collective Centre Fold Gallery (what a mouth full) is officially open. The opening night on Saturday was a huge success, which saw approximately 200 people come through the doors throughout the night. A big thank you to everyone that came down and showed some support. The gallery was actually rammed at one point as people battled to purchase a £10 bargain. Nearly all 110 artworks sold with just a few left over that have been selling steadily ever since.

We raised a fair bit of cash, which will go towards paying off our initial set-up costs. We are a non-profit organisation and any cash made will be channelled straight back into bringing over artists from the UK as well as organising projects locally. The main reason for doing what we are doing is to promote and educate the public to the benefits of Art & Design within the island whilst having a lot of fun and Saturday night was a lot of fun. We are also all about creating opportunities for people like us to do the projects they want to do.

You know how we roll.

The masses (well at least 30 of them)

Shouts out to oneofakind who played four hours of down-tempo beats mostly from the entire Mowax back catalogue. Blinding! He looked like he was having a blast too, I’ve not really seen oneofakind beat matching and scratching like a lunatic for four hours before, for us this just re-enforces the fact that he can rock any party he wants too at the drop of a hat. Thanks again.

If anyone didn’t pick up the piece they really really wanted don’t be shy, come and tell us as we are up for commissions.
