Ink_d Gallery is closing, by 10th Mountain on Apr 1, 2016 7:53:02 GMT 1, I apologise if this is a repeat. Seems a shame.
It is with a very heavy heart that we write to you, our loyal and interested customers, to let you know of the planned closure of ink_d after ten years of trading.
Closure date: 29th May 2016
In the last decade the gallery has tirelessly curated over 90 exhibitions and we have always taken pride in the fact that the artists we have chosen to represent live and love their materials and subjects. We are glad to have been able to support both established artists as well as helping those at the beginning of their careers.
Unfortunately changes on the high street and in the art market have made it increasingly difficult to survive and it has been decided that ink_d leave the party now and end on a high.
We hope that you will continue to support those artists that we have had the privilege to work alongside with for the last ten years and the up and coming talent that is out there.

Ink_d Gallery is closing, by Schrรถdinger's Chat on Apr 1, 2016 10:28:27 GMT 1, I was really disappointed when I got this email, I've been in Brighton for 16 years and love ink'd and Dan and all the staff are really lovely people.
I could imagine it doesn't make loads of money, I get the impression that Dan has always followed his heart rather than the ยฃ. If I recall correctly he said it all started as a bit of an accident and was never what he planned to do.
I have enjoyed some great exhibitions over the years here.
Even sadder, I will be away for the close.
Pretty sure No More Walls has closed its doors that leaves Art Republic and Prescription Art as the main galleries.

Ink_d Gallery is closing, by Coach on Apr 1, 2016 11:24:25 GMT 1, This is sad.
The gallery is a long way from home. I haven't been there often.
But I did have fun at the Miss Bugs show years ago.
Always seemed an honest gallery with integrity.
I enjoyed browsing their website too. The email suggests that an online presence won't continue. Does anyone know if that is indeed the case?

If memory serves, it was a joint show, with Joe Black. Is that right?

Yes, you are right. It was just MB. The State of Art show in 2008.
I bought the 3D skeletor piece. I don't have it anymore.
I used to have a few pieces by them, including their first print (the Daffy Duck one) from when they were members here.
I don't have anything by them anymore. Tastes have changed a little.
It was an enjoyable night, at that show.

Sold about 10 pieces. Straight runners, no messing about, payed promptly etc etc. Just a tad High on commission.
Hope at least they keep an online presence. I was chatting to another gallery owner the other day who said it's getting harder for small independents to compete with the mega artfairs.

Ink_d, art republic and LAG are all under the same company all owned by Lawrence Alkin. |
