I write to inform you of my disgust at the plan to close The Kube Art Gallery at Poole, a purpose-built facility for the display of all art, benefiting the public as well as the College.
Excellent displays have been put on at little or no cost the public, where the student as well as professional artists can exhibit.
We all accept in these times of financial hardships economies have to be made but this is one which is unnecessary.
Finance is available – for example look at the recent large amounts raised by national good causes.
This is a good cause. I believe that part of the construction costs were aided by the National Lottery, so perhaps we can have a say in this. I should also like to point out that there is no other facility like this between Southampton and St Ives.
