2010 begins! What crack there is to be had: our shows have out of neccessity made the ascent into top quality. No more tat! Not, I must say, that we ever did tat. Just that from 2010 onwards our shows are going to be watertight bomabstic things of beauty. Parochial? Us? F**k that!

So - we pass the rubicon, climb ever higher to harness our latest ambitions and we're pleased to discern that the air is a little rarer up here. Expect wonderful shows from the top slice of artists from Northern Britain. We've been long enough now. Time to flex the muscle!

Our first show, 'Resolutions' kicks off late Jan. In March we showcase one of York's most exciting photographers, Thomas Rodgers - a solo show for a highly skilled and pleasant guy. Also in March we run our annual York St John collaboration, 'Past & Present' exhibiting work from current students and past alumini. Art hunk and York St John glam rocker Rob Jones is curating that one: what an guy that fella is turning out to be! Talent, people. You can't fake it!

More info coming soon, but in the meantime look for us in the Guardian listings and in the York Press. York has a reputation amongst some dissidents for being subjugating and fossilized: we have only ever found it to be energetic, bristling, coiled and supportive. That's right, people - York ROCKS and you know it! You can't paint sh*t silver - either you step up to the plate or you don't. York is a magical place to be and if you can't handle it then get yersen' back to Bell End Green. You know it makes sense.

Now never stop rocking, and always keep that arty antennae trembling. Many amount of fun awaits. See you out on the lash, dressed up like a dandy and with good craic in mind.
