And shared exhibition from Embroidery artist Sylvia Webber and Portrait artist Nicola Page @nicolabaziljessandsyd

One of the things that sparked the idea for the exhibition was a passing comment from one of our Arts Open entrants last year, who mentioned the difference it made to see their work on a gallery wall – so often artists are limited by space, be it in a studio or a spare room or a cupboard under the stairs – work can pile up and doesn’t get seen in the way the artist intended, in the context that it’s meant to be shown. With this exhibition we can offer several different artists a space to share a small selection of their work, meaning that if they’re just starting out in their artistic career they can see their work in a gallery, and more established artists can showcase new collections.

This exhibition brings together different mediums and styles in one space, so visitors to the gallery can see an eclectic selection of work!

Exhibition runs from 20th July – 28th August 2024
