All done for another year
We had about 1000 people through, same as last year. The show looked fabulous. Each person had more space and everyones work was wonderful. All 15 artists were happy with the weekend. We had lots of compliments about the look of the show and the quality of work.
The Childrens' activities with the grant from Wirral Culture for All run by the Playout! workers and 3 of the artist were very well received as was the cafe run by 3 local businesses, Pete from The Green Room, Jo and the gang from The Green Community Shop and Centre and Nicola and family from Green Eats catering. The staff at the Williamson were fantastic, helping with set up and take down and taking phonecalls, ordering paint.
