'ARTSPACE ART FAIR' |
|
 'Clear View Open Studio'
Three ArtSpace members will be opening their Quorn studio to the public over the weekend of November 22nd and 23rd, providing a unique opportunity to see inside a real working artist’s studio. Nita Rao, Jo Sheppard and Tony Thory are holding the event at their studio on the Clearview Business Park, Loughborough Road (next to Loughborough Road Nurseries). |
||
| 'The Bigger Picture'. ArtSpace shows the quality and breadth of contemporary art being produced right now in this area with their new show 'The Bigger Picture'. See it at Charnwood Museum, Loughborough, in June and July. 17 members of the group including painters, printmakers, sculptors, photographers and digital artists will exhibit from 20th June to 6th July. |
||
| ARTSPACE AND THE ART OF GARDENING. ArtSpace held their second Contemporary Art Fair in the Church Rooms over the weekend of 21st and 22nd June. Held in conjunction with the Quorn Open Gardens event, numerous ArtSpace members and some non-members exhibited an array of original paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, cards and some limited edition prints. |
||
‘ArtSpace in Miniature’ - the 9th show at the Charnwood Museum, Loughborough - 13th March to 20th April. ‘ArtSpace in Miniature’ provided a new challenge for the 14 artists, including painters, printmakers, sculptors, photographers and ceramicists, taking part in this stimulating exhibition. Familiar with working on a far larger scale, the artists presented their ideas under strict size limitations, with no work being larger than A5. In some cases, the restricted dimensions encouraged experimentation and there is evidence of new personal avenues being explored, resulting in an original, stimulating and diverse collection of works. |
