We are very excited about the exhibition it has been a great project to work on. The artist have all brought a fresh perspective to the theme . . . . and their work is really strong.
Hopefully see you at the show.

Hi Aj,
Thanks for coming to the exhibition and taking the time to give us some feedback on the show – much appreciated. We would love to put something else together exploring the relationship between art and skating, as we too felt there was a lot more that could be explored within the theme. The topic is SO BIG and there are many ways you can go with it. When you start putting something like this together it starts to take on a life on its own and there were definitely elements that we would have liked to have explored in greater depth. Hopefully we will be able to revisit some time next year and pick up on the treads we were unable to go with this time round. Cheers!

I was really excited to see the exhibition as it did have a good write up. There was some really unique, interesting pieces but the size and depth of what was on show was slighty dissappointing.
