The Bungeroosh Open House had over 100 visitors per day and from what I can gather form the questionnaires left in the gallery and general positive feedback, people thought it was a real success and amongst one of the best houses in the area. The house did amazingly well in sales so congratulations to all the artists.
Quotes from the questionnaires and direct feedback include:
"inspirational", "a real sense of community", "eclectic mix and beautifully displayed","great hospitality", "a wide range of art & craft, beautiful house and sensitively displayed", "the best open house I have seen this May and I've seen more than 10 this year", "outstanding" and no, I didn't make them all up!
I have attached a link if you want to hear interviews with the artists which was broadcast several times on Brighton festival Radio. Click on this link and select The Bungeroosh Gallery 2010 interview link. Thanks to Vaska for choosing Bungeroosh and putting together a really positive piece on us and Open Houses.
Su Breakwell was nominated for best artist in the end, narrowed down from 100's of entries. Her amazing Hibaku tree exhibited in the house on the final weekend.
I have put some photos up of the gallery for all those who didn't come to see the giant hub cap flowers on the balcony, the fake grass and the 7 foot trees I put up in my front room! The trees are still here. My husband (and the cats) quite like them.
Not sure what my scaffold riggers and builders make of a bunch of trees in the living room and haven't quite had a chance to explain it yet.
