I rate the gallery and it's staff very highly.
I oppose the building of a new gallery and as Leicester's arts policy is such a dog's breakfast I think an old building in the Cultural Ghetto (sorry Quarter) should be developed, preferably without any connection with the toxic megalomaniac, digital-obsessed DMU. Have you seen their "Emperor's New Clothes" gallery at Phoenix Square?

Its loss was tempered only by the lure of rebirth and now this has proved an illusion. The occupation of the old site by a pound shop adds to the injury. Truly 'the price of everything and the value of nothing'.
