Well done. Maybe I should renew my Art Pass and toddle along.

Oooh, I sometimes get invited to that...

If we go this year will look out for it!

I'll have to tell you my real name!

Jaded · « **Reply #5 on:** 08 October, 2020, 11:00:06 pm »

Even if I don’t get invited, will still have to go!

Congrats!!!

Admission is by ticket only. But it runs from 21/11/2020 to 7/3/2021, so there's plenty of time.

I'll probably go to exhibitors'/members'/friends' events, regulations permitting...

My real name is Stephen Green.

The Academy now hopes to open the exhibition next year...

I’m still trying to find out the details, but what you have said helps explain why I’ve not been able to find any out yet!

I got an email yesterday. Bristol's relegation to Tier3 was only announced on Thursday. Keep an eye on the website and see if you can get on the mailing list.

I've got ten pieces of work in four closed venues; five in one that appears to have gone down the pan. The others have projected reopening dates, but they now look very tentative... calling the stutation frustrating is an understatement!

On top of all that, Eminor's studying in Bristol (fortunately at Circomedia, not one of the city centre establishments)

Oh, well; KBO!

Circomedia are great fun!

Puzzled, then looked it up. Didn't know they had a Kingswood site as well.

The St Paul's site is used for the BTEC course and shows. Eminor is on the degree course. He's sharing a house with other Circomedia students; all cyclists and two of them Welsh speakers. Everything they need is within walking distance.

Today I got an invitation, from an exhibition organiser whom I've worked with before, to exhibit online.

KBO!

Thanks. The last couple of days have lifted my mood; probably to everyone else's great relief.

As an interim measure, pending a real opening, the Academy has put the exhibition online.

Bugger! That's the link that the Academy sent me... I'll are what I can find that works.

Jaded · « **Reply #22 on:** 04 December, 2020, 04:26:48 pm »

It worked for me, and very good too.

OK, it's one of those images I have to right click and select "view image". Not obvious as there's no frame round it in my browser.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #24 on:** 04 December, 2020, 09:05:07 pm »

Works for me.
