A QUIRKY Southampton art gallery is hoping for a £5,000 windfall.

K6 Gallery – which is housed in a pair of iconic red phone boxes next to Town Quay – is asking supporters to help win the cash from the Aviva Community Fund.

The city’s smallest art space opened two years ago and has put on more than 40 exhibitions since then – including as previously reported one on travel sick bags from around the world by artists including rock stars Nick Cave and Band of Skull’s Emma Richardson.

The current exhibition, Imagined Futures, is by Winchester School of Art tutor Peter Driver, whose large-scale woodcut prints and banners imagine a future education policy prioritising creativity, critical reasoning, and imagination.

Curator Alex Batten said: “We’ve been able to use the most modest of spaces to bring a new lease of life to an otherwise derelict piece of national heritage. That has been the catalyst for us to grow as an organisation put on more and more events for the local community.

“This funding would pay for volunteer expenses, and cover the cost of producing and promoting our exciting programme of events and exhibitions for 2018.”

To be in with a chance of winning K6 Gallery is asking the public to back them by voting on the Aviva website.

Voting closes on November 20.
