Welcome to the first edition of 2015
It’s always a little quieter in January for the building, which gives us time to reflect on the last 12 months. Here’s a few of our successes from the year gone by...
We’ve created a wonderful reading room (available to rent - see back cover), had two wonderfully successful month long pop-up shops, expanded our events team, hired a chef in residence and now have CoResist creating wonderful in-house events!
In this edition we have a list of courses / classes / events / workshops and exhibitions - highlights include: Our Nuclear Future (pg8) and the ‘Aluna’ film screening (pg9).
We’re celebrating over a year of ‘Artist of the Month’ and pleased to say the exhibitions thus far have been a roaring success. The artist for this month is Jonothan Byles (images below).
Help! We need your votes now! As part of an exciting collaboration with the Bristol Biennial, Hamilton House have been offered the chance to host a fantastic artwork by Shaun Badham, but we need your votes to make it happen! The 4 meter long, neon artwork is touring various venues across the city for the next two years and we’d really like to have it installed on the top of the building during the dark days of winter to help brighten our spirits. The artwork spells out the message “I’m staying” in huge neon lights - a message that means many things to many people but we feel is a wonderful, positive statement of intent for the community of Stokes Croft as well as anyone who uses and sup-ports projects like Hamilton House that occupy the city’s empty and un-used spaces. However in order to get the artwork installed we really need your help to win an on-line vote against other venues across the city . . . so can you spare 2 minutes to help? Every vote counts but we need your votes as soon as possible, to vote for Hamilton House we need you to log on to the Bristol Biennial website at:
bristolbiennial.co.uk/imstaying.html
Click on the ‘Cast your vote now!’ link on the right hand side. Thanks for your votes and remember the more votes we get the more chance we have of winning so why not ask your friends and family to vote as well.
