We're back and this time we are semi-serious - What I mean is Ian is back from Japan where he has been for the past 2 weeks and he had we had a fantastic time - Lots of good weather, cherry blossom and art too. Went to 2 art fairs and a few galleries including the MORI Art Museum on the 53rd floor! which has excellent exhibition - The Kaleidoscopic Eye.
The new seasonal guide for Apr - june is out with all the arts lisitings, many Environment events of course.
The Liverpool.com mag has closed down, staff redundant. A shame as it was quite a good mag and of course included an arts page edited by Ian Jackson of artinliverpool.com. Sometimes there seems like too many free mags now there may be a gap - can anyone afford the costs of printing a decent listings mag?
