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 late Autumn this year, 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 further fund raising, 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 are continuing consultations with local residents, community partners, artists, and our architectural design team to finalise the space layout. Our aim is to create a dynamic, welcoming space where art, food, and community intersect in new, unexpected ways.
Thank you for being part of this journey. There’s so much more to come, stay tuned!
