Lynne Featherstone MP last week visited local resident Jonny Rogers at his new Art Gallery and Shop, on Hornsey High Street.

Mr Rogers is the founder of a group called Brand New Start. The group has set up this venue – comprising an art gallery and versatile workshop & performance space – in order to provide a platform for the local community to showcase and celebrate their work, and enjoy freedom of expression and collaboration.

The Liberal Democrat MP for Hornsey and Wood Green visited the venue and met a group of young people, who were at the Gallery setting up for a theatre production later in the evening.

Commenting, Lynne Featherstone MP said:

“It is great to see something so unique and original on our local high streets – and it’s fantastic to see a business involving the community and encouraging creativity. I encourage everyone to visit the Gallery and look at the wonderful items and activities offered.

“I wish Jonny the very best, with the Gallery and with the Brand New Start project.”
