Indeed Perry. In the case of the Baltic Gallery, the funding to establish it came from public funds and it runs as a charity relying on a combination of donations, sponsorship etc but all exhibitions are free to enter. They see themselves as a community organisation making art available to all who enter their doors.
Loved reading this piece, Harry. Especially your breakdown of those early computer games, which mesmerised this child no less than it did yours.
Thanks Matt - yes fond memories
Eee, you do gan aboot Harry! Had no idea Heritage Week existed.
As for Space Invaders - memories of vodka and lime or Malibu & pineapple on top of the Space Invaders table in the college bar. I can hear them now!
The piece seems to have provoked a few memories for people 😉 - Heritage Week is worth checking out for next year!
This just brings back so many memories. Great writing!
Thanks Jon
Ahhhh - I've seen these and have never known what they were! Thank you Harry, this was fascinating.
Thanks Jodi
