The Poly

This image has been adapted from a commissioned piece from early last year. Whilst studying illustration in Falmouth, I was fortunate enough to get a job working at Falmouth's art centre, known affectionately as the Poly. It was a venue and gallery for art, music, theatre and home to some of the most splendid people I shall ever meet. Two weeks ago I was very sad to hear the news that it closed down due to bankruptcy. The combined factors of a new Multiplex cinema, and rising refurbishment costs for such a historic building abruptly ended what was to many living in Falmouth; a most treasured local icon, but more importantly; the livelihoods of some close friends. This poster was printed in the West Briton newspaper yesterday. I hope something can be done quickly to remedy this significant loss.
