Although light night seems to be fast fading into the background, this was something I had promised to do as part of The Gallery of Everybody so I thought I should make good on the promise.

The pictures here are of all the work that was submitted and created on the night (sorry I couldn’t attribute the work to individuals, too many and not all works were signed)

 Without wanting to blow our trumpet too much, I have to say we felt it was a massive success and everyone really got into the spirit of the night and of the idea of The Gallery of Everybody. We had a wonderful evening, met some great people and got to build up a gallery from scratch, with no rules, no rejections and full participation: Mission accomplished.
It was really great to see people start off a little wary and then ten minutes walk away with a badge that said “Artist” on it having produced something and put it up on the wall.

Huge thanks to Nicola for giving us the opportunity to be involved, the light night as a whole was a massive success and I for one was proud of how Bury really got behind it and contributed to a brilliant night. Most of all we have to thank all the artists who contributed work or came on the night and made a piece to put up in the gallery, we couldn’t have done it without you, and you made our night. They were of all ages, backgrounds and abilities but they can all call themselves exhibited artists now, we are just a little bit proud of being part of making that happen.

Now, when’s the next one? Watch this space. We would love to open The Gallery of Everybody again in a different location or as part of another event so if you know of anything coming up, please let us know so we can continue to grow the gallery.
