Thank you to all those that supported our crowdfund campaign to make this dream a reality.
Forty days of pledges, kind words, and incredible support, this has been truly amazing. I’m beyond grateful for every contribution, message, and show of encouragement. This crowdfund has been more than just fundraising; it has laid the foundation for Arcade’s next chapter; a model for what a gallery can be in our times, and hopefully, an inspiration for others to follow.
Our goal is to fully open in September, with the early summer dedicated to smaller local projects, public consultations, and events to help shape the programme in response to our community. The coming months will be all about design and build, bringing together creative minds to craft an entirely new kind of visitor experience.
Arcade founder Christian Mooney and resident chef Marco Donadon will soon be meeting with artists and our architectural design consultant to finalise the layout, ensuring that the space isn’t just a gallery, but a dynamic, welcoming, and unexpected encounter between art, food, and community.
Thank you for being part of this journey. There’s so much more to come—stay tuned!
