I had the thought it would be a great moment to pause and ask this audience some questions to gauge the general feeling about our little art scene, but I'm not sure which questions to ask.

I've a few... for instance are there exhibition spaces/ possibilities you feel are slipping through the cracks (either being under-attended or underreported about)? 

But we'll start with a simple request: What do you want to know? Which is to say, backing up a bit, if you could ask the community a question, what would it be?

We would like to put together a questionnaire which we will share on here and social media. Then we'll share the answers here and elsewhere. Send your questions to mrharbour@gmail.com
