Platform 22 needs your help!

As many of you will know Platform 22 Gallery has been an arts venue since opening in 2005. In that time we have out grown the existing building and we are now planning a new and improved facility with dedicated gallery, studio, workshop and coffee shop areas.

The planning application has been rumbling on since June last year, but we are at last nearing some sort of conclusion. We have had to re-apply and this time round it looks like we may have a fight on our hands! To help the project across the finishing line we would very much appreciate if any of our supporters could take a moment to post a message of support with Aberdeenshire Council by the 28th of February 2010 at
www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/planning/apps/detail.asp?ref_no=APP/2010/0257


Platform 22 has always tried to support local artists and makers, and we hope that the new building will allow us to continue and develop this.

Many thanks for your help it is very much appreciated.
