Issue#1 of The NOD was distributed to over 230 recipients and the general response has been very positive. A few days after after dispatch we were delighted to receive an e-mail form Sam Toft, one of our first members.
"Love the site. It looks stimulating, professional, different, interesting. I’m contacting you because a gallery in Devon just emailed me to stock my prints because of something you sent him. Isn’t the world a wonderful place."
We look forward to reporting more successes in the future.
Eleanor Watson
In the second of our Spotlight features Eleanor Watson takes time out to tell us more about her work in ceramics and glass.

We are not a direct selling tool
One of the questions we get frequently asked is whether we sell work on our web site. The simple answer is no and we don’t intend to. The reason is simple. We are looking to work with galleries, buyers and commissioners we have no desire to compete with them. Artists and galleries have a mutually beneficial relationship and we don’t want to change that. One of our aims is to help the two sides meet and foster strong working relationships.
Free publicity
We appreciate you taking the time to read our newsletter and we are happy to give something in return for your time.
If you, your gallery, studio space etc would like to be featured in our newsletter drop us an e-mail to info@doorsopening.net telling us a little about yourself and supplying two photographs that we could use in our article. We are especially keen to here from you if you are on the lookout for new talent or have exhibitions/promotions coming up that you require work or skills for. The NOD is distributed to galleries, exhibition spaces, members and the people who have signed up via the web site, this issue has been sent to over 400 recipients. This really is FREE publicity.
