has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
"Urge For Going"
Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout
All that stays is dying all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flapping and a-racin on before the snow
Got the urge for going they've got the wings to go
J. Mitchell
The Great Beech stood for nearly two centuries. Carved into its ancient trunk and branches were the countless messages left by generation after generation. Those words are now lost forever and all but forgotten aside from just a very few. In 1999 the Giant was struck by a catastrophic lightning bolt resulting in an instant conflagration, a funeral pyre, whose devouring incandescence was visible from the seven hills which surround Providence. Nothing lasts for long.
