The theme for this years exhibition is ‘Seeds of Change’. May embrace many issues personal, environment, life, climate, botanical and nature, healing & hope, growth, political and social. Of course change is also implied within the work itself, within process. We hope you are inspired.

The exhibitions in Water Street Gallery are curated with an emphasis on creativity and originality. Integrity, uniqueness and the qualities of the artist's expression and visual understanding are the prime criteria for our choice of work, as is work of a high artistic standard.

This will be a changing exhibition, so to keep it fresh you may wish to replenish and replace works.  If you are selected we hope you will enjoy exhibiting with us. Please pass this information on to fellow artists who may wish to participate.  

This runs alongside an Open Exhibition ‘Postcard Art”
