Hungary anyone?



Friday 14th November- Ian and I woke up at 1:30 in the morning to catch the bus to Gatwick airport. From there we flew to Budapest, taking a taxi to the hotel. After a quick change we made our way to the gallery by 3:30. The exhibition, Crossroads, opened at the MAMU gallery at 6:00. There were lots of friends and family of the 11 UWE artists as well as some Hungarian supporters of the museum. The gallery owner, the show organizer from UWE and the UK ambassador to Hungary all spoke at the opening and my work had a prominent place during the speeches. At about 8:30 Ian and I started walking toward the restaurant where the after party was being held. We saw a lot of lovely lit building and ornate lampposts along the way. We met up with the other artists at the restaurant and had something to eat before heading back to the hotel.
