Material Consequences, 10th - 15th September 2014

We are pleased to host Material Consequences, an exhibition by four designer-makers Stephanie Ray, Katherine Pogson, Karen Henriksen and Pinaki Editions.
Installed during The London Design Festival this is an opportunity to discover and buy new work direct from the designers, who met at Cockpit Arts, the creative hub located in nearby Bloomsbury. On offer will be textiles for interiors, surface design, wall art, conceptual jewellery, hats and fashion accessories. 
A narrative threads its way through this diverse collection of work - a reflection of the many techniques and processes involved in designing and making - of time and effect, material considerations and consequential discoveries.

The exhibition runs from Wednesday 10th until Monday 15th September, 10am-6pm
Saturday 13th September, 12-6pm.

Questions to ask when hiring a venue for an exhibition, pop up or event

When looking for a venue to host an exhibition, pop up shop or event choose a space that reflects your brand and ethos. Set a clear and realsitic budget for your exhibition or pop up and look around to see what locations and venues best suit. Prices vary depending on the location and size of the space. 
Before contacting a venue, ensure you know details such as dates (can be rough), length of hire and what you intend to show to give them an idea of your requirements and to get a quicker response.

Ask about the footfall of the area and what types of exhibitions or pop ups have been succesfull in the past. Weekends are generally retailers busiest times so ask how busy the area gets and decide on whether a weekend opening suits your event. 

When visiting venues, keep the following questions in mind:

Is the venue location easily accessible?
How and when can I book the venue?
What’s the capacity?
Do I need insurance?
Can I decorate the venue?
How long can I hire the venue for?
Is there a kitchen?
How do I cancel my booking?

Comedy Snaphot book launch by Steve Best

Comedian Steve Best has just released his first book 'Comedy Snapshot', a behind the scenes record of life on the comedy circuit, its characters and performers, from their own perspective. Steve has spent the last seven years documenting his fellow stand-ups backstage – some old, some young, some famous, some 
established and some just starting out – a real mixture, a comedy snapshot. 

Steve held the book launch at Nancy Victor last night, which coincides with a mini exhibition. Catch him for a tea and a branded biscuit until Monday 7th April. The book has a whopping 440 pages for the tiny price of £7.99 and can be bought during the show. 

Nancy Victor is open Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm.
