Story
On December 26th Fold artists’ studios in West Yorkshire were devastated as a result of the highest river levels in recorded history. The nearby river surged and burst its banks, smashing holes through walls and depositing a sea of mud, silt and detritus throughout the ground floor. The water levels reached over four and half feet, completely destroying all digital equipment, print exposure units, art works, library, paper stocks, computers, all furnishings, fittings, plaster walls and doors.

9 years agoThank you to all for the brilliant support, we raised £4,000! a great help. The builders are in, damage is worse than we thought, so this fundraising is a great help. Walls need to stripped of plaster which we did not expect, they will be relined with material which will help insulate the building. The toilet facilities will be improved, again we needed to rebuld the walls, so we have taken this opportunity to install a disabled toilet. All doors have been replaced with wider, fire proof doors. We are building a better exposure room as the walls needed replacing anyway. We will recieve some help from the local authority for some of the refurb and further help with better flood defences, we already invested in this but the floods were so bad this time our defences were overwhelmed once the water reached over 3 feet. We will be relaunching in late spring, regular updates will be on our web page and details of fundraising activties, we will get there! foldevents.wordpress.com
