ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION

about-exhibition

DATES & TIMES

5 September - 3 November

Open Daily: 10am - 4pm

This exhibition showcases drawings from the collection alongside new site specific works produced by two contemporary artists Michael Armstrong and Natalia Saegusa. These two have drawn inspiration from the collection by creating large scale drawings that are created directly on the Gallery walls. This exhibition also invites the viewer to draw their own inspiration by partaking in an interactive drawing programme. Enjoy this unique show that encourages viewer participation.
