First Thursdays offers a fresh perspective on art in a unique social atmosphere accompanied with creative individuals and overall good vibes. The St Kevins shops will be open during the event and the art walk will extend to Verona and KFM Gallery.

It runs from 6-9pm and is free to the public. Don’t miss out on this fun night! Last time there was a surprise performance.

The National Grid now at MOMA NYC

So MOMA (The Museum of Modern Art in New York) gives us an email asking if they can add The National Grid to their library.

The National Grid Issues 1-5 are now part of their library and online database. This means The National Grid is the bomb. Congratulations to Luke Wood and Jonty Valentine.
