Congratulations on putting on a very interesting and varied exhibition. It is good to see amongst the contemporary art some skilled representation at last getting a look in. It would have been helpful if a list of prices and artists had been available at the opening from the outset as my party had to leave mid speeches. How about an award for most popular work chosen by the viewing public? It would get the public involved and have the "peoples choice" A good show all round and very well hung.
