Catmose Gallery, New Gallery Set to Close!

Catmose Gallery, New Gallery Set to Close!

Sadly Catmose Gallery part of the Catmose Campus is set to close.

Catmaose blame this on a loss of grant.

Rutland County Council were also approached for funding.

The gallery will be turned into a additional classroom.

It does not surprise me this funding ended when you look at who
represents our county on The Arts Council.

I guess there is art in somewhere in Rugby and Real Ale?

If the trustees of Victoria Hall can get their act together maybe this could be
a new start for art at that venue. The Catmose Gallery has in the past attracted
some very fine exhibitions.

Maybe they can take on the staff who look set to lose their jobs. Would be good to
see exhibitions actually advertised on the Victoria Hall Web Site.

I have always dreamt of a Victoria Hall like Stamford Arts.
