Hey Fellas

Hey guys

I had a start looking around for places this eve and got some starting points for down south to see what kind of spaces people like???

the Bear in Camberwell is pretty nice but quite small maybe a little too small but I think i'd be able to get a cheap price on it above a busy nice pub

The old police station in Deptford is pretty swish from the sound of it, 60£ a day for 2 weeks (maybe too long) includes 4 cells and interview room. Has some nice character! maybe too much character? Also has 42 artist studios which increase likelihood of arty folk we don't know seeing the work.

Also theres the bun house in Peckham which is quite famous but a bit of a crack den, is never open and doesn't have a website but its well known...

Also I emailed a community art council lady about getting an abandoned space or something but she always takes ages to reply so I'm still waiting on that. (could be a while!)

I agree with Caroline on another meet soon!!

    wow great! I think with the beer space/pub/etc. we could possible get it for free. I heard that it is quite common that artists get that space for free after writting a good proposal for them. I don't know how much truth is in this 'gossip', however I believe it is worth of trying and asking them about it :)

    I've found a church! As I mentioned to some today, St. John on Bethnal Green (opposite corner to Bethnal Green tube) offer free space: "St John's offers free exhibition space for artists in the belfry, and at times, in the vestibule and sanctuary itself." Here's the url: http://www.stjohnonbethnalgreen.org/community/arts.html

    Also, I will be in a show with other students from my course in April in this place called Acquire. It's in Battersea, it's quite big (2 floors) and it's £350 a week: http://www.acquirespace.co.uk/galleryhire.html
