Black-E Gallery 28th October 2009

The gallery is called the 'Black-E' as over a centuries worth of grime used to cover the building. The colour of the building in the 60's used to be called the black church. A name that came from children in Liverpool. The spiral staircase in the gallery reminds me of the Guggenheims in Newyork. The Black-E's staircase area is going to be refurbished and hopefully used as the entrance. The gallery used to be a church so the place is really old and run down. The gallery is aimed at young people who want to create art, perform, dance, sing, rap etc. Theatre, music events etc are set up within spaces in the gallery. Workshops are available today, this would'nt of happened 20-30 years ago. The gallery gets money from the City Council and arts council. Donations are a major help to the gallery. There are charges for hiring the building, and events etc. There is oppurtunitys to get involved at the gallery such as becoming a volunteer. I have a slight interest to become a volunteer here as i know i would learn many things and it would get me started helping out at a gallery.
