Dear Friends, Artists, Customers and Families,

Firstly I would like to wish you a very happy and healthy New Year for 2010.

As you may know, I opened the “Where I Fell In Love Gallery” over five years ago in Shipston-on-Stour, and have since helped over 250 artists by exhibiting and selling their work. I have loved every moment of it, from searching out the artists, getting to know them and introducing their work to the public.

Many of you will remember the “Vernissages” I organised, the Pottery Festivals and the Cup and Saucer exhibition.

Sadly, from a business point of view, the last year has been extremely difficult for all galleries and artists and I have now invested everything I have in the Gallery to try to survive this recession, even remaining open seven days a week and drawing little, if any, salary. In June, I relocated the Gallery to a bigger town, Royal Leamington Spa, with the aim of promoting the art and artists to a wider audience and to try to pass on the passion I feel.

I now have to make the decision of whether to stay open or to finally close the Gallery doors and I would like to ask your help before I do so.

How can you help me? I am sorry to say that with no help from the Banks or the Government I desperately need to raise some funds to be able to keep the gallery doors open and here are a few ways of doing it.

• You can make a donation of any size – even £5 will make a difference.

• For a donation of £50 you can become a Patron of the Gallery and you will be untitled to VIP invitations to all previews and 10% discount off ANY art purchased from the Gallery for the next 12 months.

• You can purchase a Gift Voucher up to a value of £50 and your Voucher will be worth 25% more than the amount you paid – restricted to one Voucher per person.

• You could bring forward the purchase of your next piece of art, in current times one of the very best investments you could make.

• You can pass this letter on to all your friends and ask them to help the Where I Fell In Love Gallery.

I am setting up a Facebook Group as well so please invite all your friends to join and hopefully, with all your help, I will be able to support British and international artists for many years to come.

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to consider my cry for help.

A bientot et Merci,

Bruno
