Curated by @louisewhithamartist Throughout May and June, we are delighted to be exhibiting art in a wonderful exhibition showcasing the surprising and exceptional work of 22 talented artists, each responding to the word "sprung" in uniquely creative ways. We hope you can make the opening celebration on Friday, 9 May at the award-winning Jazz club and bar Barnabys Lounge. The gathering is from 6:00 PM to 7:30 pm, but the evening will continue afterwards with live jazz from the Southern Lights Jazz Sextet at 8.30pm. During this special viewing, you can engage with the artists in person and virtually through specially made projected videos that delve into the varied artistic practices and the thinking behind the pieces on show. This evening promises to be a unique and charming occasion, and your participation makes it all the more special Thank you in advance for helping to spread the word
