\n Oink Gallery will remain running as an online gallery, but Mark will be focusing his energy on a new gallery in Painswick, near Stroud.\n<\/p>\n
\n The new gallery will be called Place(d) Contemporary and will focus on combining art with interior design.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mark Pepperall is waving goodbye to his Swindon art gallery, but hello to an exciting new venture\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’re really excited about that move into the Cotswolds,” Mark told the Adver.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’re just doing something slightly different.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’ve got an interior design company as well called Pepper & Co and so we’re kind of merging the two.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It will have a select few pieces of furniture in there and more paintings and originals.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cMy wife and I have wanted to move into the Cotswolds for a while and then we found a shop we liked the look of and it just made sense.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Oink Gallery was named after the idea that the site would act as a “piggy bank” for people’s artwork, with their pieces going up in value through exposure on a bigger scale.\n<\/p>\n
\n When it opened, Mark was confident that there was a gap in the market for modern, contemporary and cutting edge artwork, and the decade-long success of Oink has proved that to be true.\n<\/p>\n

\n “We\u2019ll be sad to leave Swindon. We\u2019ve had amazing customers here,” he added.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Lots of amazing open events and preview shows and we\u2019ve worked with lots of local DJs.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’m excited for the next step. There’s really big community and lots of arts going on.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Oink Gallery will remain open in Old Town until August 28 and is currently running a closing down sale.\n<\/p>\n
\n As part of the sale, all artwork purchased from Oink Gallery will have the frame included, and reduced prices have been put on all of the store’s books and gifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oink Gallery, based on Victoria Road in Old Town, will close its doors for the final time on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":737319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-737318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/737319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
