<strong>The</strong> <strong>House</strong> seems to have<br />
a certain magic, which at it’s most<br />
potent is channelled through the<br />
staff, members, art, furniture…<br />
At Art Social 2015, I was delighted<br />
to be reunited with Donna, the former<br />
cook at <strong>The</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong> Barnabas<br />
when I worked there in the 1980s.<br />
She had heard about Art Social ‘15 on<br />
the TV news and came with her friends<br />
to visit the <strong>House</strong> and her memories <strong>of</strong><br />
it. <strong>The</strong>re is something about the <strong>House</strong><br />
that won’t let you go.<br />
<strong>The</strong> way I came to be involved with<br />
the <strong>House</strong> is what we are about — we<br />
find great people and hold onto them,<br />
nurture them and make them feel<br />
welcome. But I think the one thing<br />
that has really enriched my<br />
experience has been the art that is<br />
shown in the <strong>House</strong>. Katie Heller is a<br />
fantastic curator and every piece that<br />
goes up on the walls (and particularly<br />
the installations) are a gift.<br />
