South Block Just before completion

Settling in at South Block

16 November 2011

Its been a wee while since our last post. This is mainly because South Block (the new King Street) has just come off site. Most of the artists moved back into their studios and then there was a bit of a domino rally as everyone else swapped space and moved into bigger/smaller/wider/lighter spaces etc that they had their eye on for some time.

Anyway, this has meant that theres been a lot of work on the go, getting everyone moved, signing out keys, finishing the paint and building work on the building and then organising viewings for our new potential creative tenants that will be based on the first and fourth floor of South Block. Theres also been the usual teething problems with the heating and plumbing but we are getting there!

On the plus side however, there is a brilliant mix of artists in the studios and it makes a great opportunity to get loads of new faces into our other buildings as well. If you've not had a chance to pop up yet at any of the viewings, then theres a few shots of the spaces (it is hard to take photos of white rooms) in our Flickr.
