It's hilarious that the ACNI are jumping on the band wagon
regarding Wilkes's success. There is absolutely no way that
the artist would have had any chance if she had stayed in
N.Ireland.All galleries are closed shop, even though they
are publicly funded ie ACNI , they are in a permanent state
of closed shop.!
