Keep Art freely accessible in the Usher Gallery, Lincoln.

The Issue

  • There are plans afoot to lease out the Usher Gallery in Lincoln as a wedding venue.  While reassuring noises have been made, I have reason to believe (based on a County Council report) that the ultimate aim is to cease using the Usher Gallery to display art.  The building itself is a work of art, and was bequeathed to the people of Lincoln by James Ward Usher, so this is about retaining regular public  access to the building as well as to the art collections.
