Hi, my name is Dave and I would like to hire an art studios gallery space for a week long exhibition of my work, treat the people of my home city to an explosion of colour, and raise funds for art materials. I have recently started incorporating resin in my work (multiple layers of painted resin) and it is a much higher cost than paint. It has opened up an extra dimension to my art journey which I would love to explore further.

I had several very successful exhibitions in a nearby town ten years ago, where I sold multiple pieces or my work, but I've not been as successful selling online nor at promoting my art - I'd much rather be painting. Exhibitions give me the opportunity to showcase my work in its truest form and discuss my passion for art with others.

The Artery Studios CIC are a community interest company who provide opportunities for local artists, creatives and community group. They have a gallery space which costs £300 to hire for a week, I would also need funds for promotional materials to help me reach out and gain some recognition.
