- People's reactions to art: No one was in there when I was there
- My opinion of art: There is so much artwork there, I have many different opinions. Some very modern art/abstract art isn't to my taste. I saw some James Jean prints and I love his work.

- How they display work: Hanging photography by hooks, Shelves installed onto the wall and displaying taxidermy, block in the middle of the room displaying taxidermy,
- People's reactions to art: As I was walking into the gallery a woman was walking out saying I should definitely look around in there
- My opinion of art: I had mixed feelings about these works. I'm not a fan of taxidermy to be honest. I asked the artist if the animals were found or killed and they were found which is okaaaaay... (I'm against hunting, eating animals etc) But the photos of the work were nice.
- Other Info: The turnover at Thistle Hall is every week. Its booked about 6 months in advance so we have no chance of displaying our work there in time. It costs $160 for a week.
