| Introduction | The Long Haul/le Corrid'art is a community of artists that offers affordable studios and an exhibition space to emerging and established artists, students and collectives in the visual arts and crafts. We mount group shows of our own work, and host open studio events and the events of outside cultural organisations and individual artists. Artists here work in a diversity of media. Our members span the gamut from students still in art school to veterans with forty years of production behind them, from the most obscure to those with international followings. The Long Haul was founded by Vanessa Yanow and John Tinholt in September 2001 but n 2009 we attained official Non Profit Status. By offering artists, both established and emerging, students and collectives a creative space to work out of and to exhibit from, we create a stimulating community of artists, which in turn stimulates the local community and economy. By fostering local artists and their work and by promoting alternatives to the economic constraints of the mainstream art scene the Long Hall strives to maintain these ideals as it continues to evolve. |
