More than a gallery experience; BasementArtsProject is about becoming part of a family, a real one that resides in and around a permanent art space. Too art for community too community for art.

October’s Editions of Hypogeal over on Substack constituted something of an break from the usual format.

I came across a piece of writing from earlier in the year in which I was musing on the offerings of AI. And so an experiment was born. With a series of prompts I got AI to rewrite my thoughts

Last week was half-term and I finally managed to get away for a couple of days to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I also managed to pick up a new, two day a week, job and open a new exhibition here at #BasementArtsProject

ΰ€¦ΰ€°ΰ₯ΰ€Άΰ€¨ was the first non-English title that we have used at BasementArtsProject and, just like buses, two come along at once.

The next exhibition is drawn from the Welsh language. Tirweddau Dychmugol-Faesiol is an exhibition by Leeds based studio holder at Serf Seren Oakley

We hope you can join us…

As artists and as a community we are at war on all fronts against the forces that seek to destroy our lives rather than make them better

Trying to get companies involved in things that help and improve communities rather than make money out of them is nigh on impossible but we persist…

Over 5 years Basement has been trying to negotiate with offshore land bankers to do something about property they own and do nothing about because they can’t develop it, instead leaving it a shit-tip and a haven for drug dealing, fly/tipping & worse.
