For those of you who don’t know me, I am Andy Fiddes. I live, work and play in Uxbridge, Ontario.
I am developing a plan to convert 3,000 square feet of my 7,000 square foot building in downtown Uxbridge into a multiple use arts facility. www.arts41.ca will illustrate this journey. You can post comments on my blog and on the pages on the site.
I know that there is enough space to have a year round managed, staffed and administrated art gallery, plus classrooms, workshop spaces, meetings, ticket office, rehearsals and functions. This is a developing idea, nothing is cast in stone… unless you are a sculptor.
Patrons can easily walk there from the shops of downtown Uxbridge, the York-Durham Heritage Train and local restaurants and B & B’s and there is plenty of parking at the door.
I am looking for sculptors, goldsmiths, silversmiths, fabric & fibre artisans, photographers, teachers, potters, ceramists, painters and mixed media artists.
I invite you to visit the website and sign up for the mailing list that will notify you of any significant new blog postings. I look forward to your suggestions, ideas, support and even criticisms.
If you don’t really have a true interest in this project but know someone who does, please feel to pass this information on with advance thanks from me.
If you are interested in a tour of the building, if you have questions or would like to check out the progress personally, please give me a call.
Regards,
Andy
