Dear Lisa

We are about to open a gallery showing mostly abstract, bizarre & risque art
/ photography and sculpture.

I was wondering if you would like to show your works with us.

We are a commercial gallery and are offering negotiable terms.

If you would like to know more please get in touch. My msn is
seventiesrock@hotmail.co.uk.

By the way, the gallery is called theartbay gallery. It is situated in
Stoke-on-Trent.

We have a website too, which is currently being upgraded. It is called
http://www.theartbay.co.uk

Kindest Regards

Alan & Cheryl Gerrard
