Press Release: Hoe, Ho, Ho
An exhibition of Christmas themed erotic art presented by Carlisle Arts Hub
Carlisle’s artist-led Bank_Gallery_ welcomes artists from the Carlisle Arts Hub, such as Hannah Stewart and Richard Webster, and curated by Hub artists Jennifer Brooks, Joel Makinson and Jen Martin, in a show exploring the sexy side of Christmas. The show, named ‘Hoe, Ho, Ho’ will preview on Thursday 6th December, 2007 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., and runs from December 7th until the 14th, 12 p.m. until 5 p.m.
This show will feature work in a variety of media, ranging from sculpture to photography, with the artists gently poking fun at both themselves and the Christmas season with many works exploring the more risqué side of Christmas. Hoe, Ho, Ho follows on from the success of previous Hub exhibitions such as Dog On A Hot Tin Roof, shown in Bank_Gallery_ in May 2007 and Private view, shown in Eleventh Hour in November 2006. The Carlisle Arts Hub exists to facilitate and to produce arts based events in and around Carlisle and forms a part of The Cumbria network. As well as the aforementioned exhibitions, the Hub has also had a hand in events such as Raining Salmon Spitting Bones, in November 2006, and the yearly Carlisle Arts Festival. Hoe, Ho, Ho will also be following on from an Art Auction at Tullie House on 1st December, which also features work by numerous Hub artists.
This is the third show to be hosted at Bank_Gallery_ since it has gone under new management, and Hoe, Ho, Ho wishes to follow in the incredibly successful footsteps of both Vault and Spitting Off Tall Buildings.

Hoe hoe hoe
Congratulations to everyone who is participating in and especially the curators of Hoe hoe hoe at the Bank Gallery.
I'm sorry I couldn't make the Private View - but enjoyed the show on Saturday afternoon. Thank you!
the bank gallery is...
Above the Griffin pub, which is at the top of Botchergate, across from the train station.
The entrance to the gallery is through the bar itself, and you can see the work of Rebecca Freeman on the windows if you stand outside the pub and check out the first floor.
There is unforunately a ban on under 18's entering the gallery due to the entrance being a pub and there is no disabled access.
For contact details, you can message myself, Jen Martin or Joel Makinson for more information...or just post on this thread :)

where..
..is Bank Gallery? I know it's Carlisle!
just to reply on the forum
i hope folks have found out where the bank gallery is, but i realized we might as well put an answer in the forum.
The bank gallery is in carlisle above the griffin pub.
The griffin is next to the rail station almost directly. It has a big sign saying Griffin, but the building also has BANK written on it from the original architecture.
to get to the gallery, enter the pub, head to the bar and bear right. there is a door marked private, (it tends to have posters for any current show on it). If you are unsure ask the bar staff. Once through the doors head up the stair, lots of stairs, about 2 floors. there are gold arrows, and once you reach the gallery gold lettering marking the door too.
it is round about, often worth it in the end
