Hi All Exciting news! We have just signed a years lease on the North side of the bottom floor of the Parisian Tie Factory in Poynton Tce. It overlooks Myers Park and is totally choice! It's a big area with lots of possibilities and we hope for it to be open to the wider arts community as well as the AF community as there's certainly enough room for this.
There will be a venue and gallery, an office with the MP3 ( and soon to be audiovisual) Library, AF CD Shop and we are looking at having workshops, salons, exhibitions, events, lectures, symposia, festivals and film evenings as well as any other suggestions that come our way. The venue space will fit around 80 peeps but because of the flats across the park, we are looking at events that finish at 10 pm or day shows. We will be in there from April 18th painting and cleaning the place and getting it ready and any volunteers for this would be greatly welcome : ) We are also looking for help with any of the following items on our wish-list for the space if anyone has stuff they don't need anymore. We can come to you with a trailer closer to the time we move in! Sofas Chairs for events Carpets, rugs and mats Big and small cushions Book shelves Desks Computers for internet and MP3 Library Small Fridge CD racks Ping pong table Trestle tables Electric jug Let me know off-list if you can help out with anything... Launch will be early May and we will have more news soon about how we are celebrating!!
