Scallop bonanza as was turns into an art form - Fish Factory Art Space.

Those who were around in the mid-70s may well remember the scalloping bonanza in Falmouth (some of the protagonists were the Sea Eagle - LT363, Forelle of Purbeck - P600, Guiding Star CN96)- especially the summer of '76 when those who slaved away on deck shovelling dredge loads of scallops prayed for rain or at least some sort of breeze to cool them down - will no doubt recall that many of their scallops ended up at the scallop packing plant on Falmouth Wharf.

Things are different now and this coming Bank Holiday weekend will see the grand opening of the latest Art Space to grow from an unused or abandoned building in the county. The Fish Factory Art Space will provide a huge working space for contemporary Cornish artists and a public gallery. The opening night sees the wraps come off the canvases at 6pm Saturday May 28th along with a free drink and an invite to see the work of  Diggy Smerdon, Sophie Capron and Martiens Bekker and inspect the working gallery space.
