Mr Lewis said: “This new project isn’t just an art gallery, it is going to be a place where people can learn about the arts.

“It is also a place where people can find out more entrepreneurship and I want it to be a hub for those aged under 30.

“The main aim is for people to be able to come and leave with something on their CVs but it’s all at an early stage and I’m not quite sure how it’ll work out yet.”

For more information on the project or if you would like to get involved call Mr Lewis on 01977 793121 or email [email protected]
