As I've mentioned before, my mate Simon Cauty is an artist who has studio space in an Urban Splash development ar Royal William Yard in Plymouth, and very nice it is too. It was part of the development remit to provide spaces for art.
So you might be wondering what to do with the Red Brick Building? Here's an idea.
ArtspaceLifespace are, as they put it "an artist led initiative that recycles vacant, under used and often semi derelict urban and rural sites into thriving active creative arts resources."
There's more:
Bridewell Island located in Bristol's city centre will be our new space and base for future projects. We are turning the island into a fully functioning community arts space. We aim to provide space for all manner of creative individuals and groups as well as a performance/exhibition space for hosting city centre events.
Further Information: The property is owned by Urban Splash, a British company which regenerates decaying industrial buildings.
So ... ArtspaceLifespace live in Bristol, which is a bit too far for them to take over the running of the Red Brick Building, but close enough for the fine folk of Avalon to form an affiliate. I'm sure Urban Splash would be OK with it (even though they don't actually own the Red Brick Building yet), as they already deal with ArtspaceLifespace.
How's that for an idea? Answers on a postcard please :)
