Source: BBC: "Now, supporters of Ron’s Place, including singer Jarvis Cocker, are trying to raise money to buy his old flat and turn it into a space for artists." The Guardian: "Catherine Croft, the director of the Twentieth Century Society, said Ron’s Place was '20th century heritage unlike any other, the first example of outsider art to be nationally listed'."

Minotaur from Ron's Place
Article is new enough and long enough. It is well-sourced, neutral, presentable, and BLP-compliant. Earwig checks out. Images are freely licensed (I'm assuming these are eligible under Commons:COM:FOP UK as a public interior and works of artistic craftsmanship). The hook is cited and interesting. I've added the Minotaur image as an option per the talk page discussion. Both images are clear at a small size. QPQ has been done. gobonobo + c 12:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
