I really hope that somehow you can appeal to keep your gallery open. I think that you bring a very great contribution to the arts. Much love to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929503755821522426.post-79713979105469557012012-07-01T05:37:09.829-04:002012-07-01T05:37:09.829-04:00Patrick we support your cause.

He was very encouraging and helpful. In a few weeks we are going to have a meeting and explore some possibilities for the future. <br /><br />Love LIVE ART....

One shouldn't need to open an Art Centre to display art and hold events.Angus MacAskillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929503755821522426.post-24147787250208028102012-06-29T12:25:28.398-04:002012-06-29T12:25:28.398-04:00It is a big loss for Ottawa's art community at...It is a big loss for Ottawa's art community at this point. I really hope that Patrick can find a new place that will work, and that he won't have to deal with negative attitudes. Sure, Patrick pushes the limits, but he is correct that art should do that. <br />I didn't realize until I read this how much Patrick has given, when he didn't have to. He has a vision, he has energy, he has balls. We need people like that in Ottawa. I have been amazed at his energy and what he has accomplished.<br />I really hope that something new and strong and bold rises out of the ashes of this big mess. <br />Rise like a phoenix, Patrick! If anyone can do it, you can. <br />We need to help Patrick. He has given so much for art in Ottawa, and now he needs us.Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929503755821522426.post-57085936201250314202012-06-28T17:49:58.590-04:002012-06-28T17:49:58.590-04:00From CATHY,

I have witnessed Patrick's contribution to the arts in Ottawa for the past several years, a city that direly needs such passionate individuals to awaken art appreciation. Many in the community, artists and art lovers alike, have benefited from his benevolent gift of time and ceaseless energy. The majority are at a loss for the gallery's closing, for all intense and purposes. The minority who objected to its existance may revel in the recent decision....but the majority will mourn its loss. Good Luck in your next project Patrick!reflect7777777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929503755821522426.post-11222595370986816212012-06-28T16:14:17.320-04:002012-06-28T16:14:17.320-04:00What the city is doing is just wrong, we need more...What the city is doing is just wrong, we need more spaces like the PJM Gallery not less.
