MFA exhibition open 10am-5pm Monday - Saturday until 3rd September

I am invigilating throughout the duration of the Newcastle University MFA exhibition. Despite being a pretty simple task, invigilating can be challenging. When you have put your heart and soul into making the work and spent a lot of time and energy creating it, it can be very disheartening and disappointing when people don't try to engage with the work.

However, I am finding that the majority of viewers are taking their time and appreciating what they are seeing. I've had a few lengthy conversations with different people who obviously have had a response to my work. It is an amazing feeling when someone says that they have been moved by something I have created. Long may this continue.

There does seem to be some confusion about whether the gallery is open. I can confirm that although the Hatton Gallery is closed for refurbishment, the rest of the building is open as the Newcastle University MFA Exhibition 2016 is up and running and open for public viewing Monday - Saturday, 10am-5pm. The entrance to the exhibition is via the Atrium entrance, located opposite the Northern Stage. There are plenty of signs around to point you in the right direction. The last day of the exhibition is Saturday 3rd of September, so there is still plenty of time to come and enjoy the art. I hope to see you soon.
