Artizan Gallery Counts Down to New Beginnings with Final Exhibitions Before Relaunch
As Artizan Gallery prepares for a new venture in their home gallery of 10 years, a quirky offering is on the cards opening on 27th August and continuing into September. Partner artists Rosie Burns and Red find common ground for their creative practice in an unusual theme, which has become the title for their new touring exhibition, “Skin”.
Rosie, a multidisciplinary artist, and Red, a maker of functional leather works, work from their North Devon gallery and workshop space where they run a variety of courses from life-drawing to printmaking to leather working. Each has a unique interpretation which they bring to “Skin”, one very physical, and the other more metaphorical.
Alongside Rosie, Red’s work is interested in the ancient use of leather, a material whose properties our species has relied upon for nearly as long as our existence, if not as a refined material, then as a handy bit of sturdy stuff to tie up a flint to a stick or a material to use as a shelter.
“Skin: Art and Leather from Rosie Burns and Red”, runs from 27th August – 14th September with a preview evening 30th August 18:00-20:00 FIND OUT MORE
English Riviera Summer Open Exhibition
Celebrating 10 Years of Art on the English Riviera – Planning for the Next!
For the first time in two years, we can confidently say this won’t be our last Summer Open as we’re delighted to announce we’ve secured our home at Fleet Walk, Torquay! And as well as this, 2024 marks 10 years since we established our first gallery venue on the English Riviera, so this Summer is the perfect chance for us to celebrate both these milestones!
Our Summer Open is now a well-established event on our annual calendar having originally started purely by chance several years ago. Each year the event sees us build on previous shows as we welcome old and new artists to Torbay for our personal homage to the great institution that is the Royal Academy Summer Show.
Starting at the beginning of July and running through until 1st September, the exhibition promises to be as rich and diverse as in previous years. The exhibition will then run 7th July – 1st September Tuesday – Sunday 11 am – 5 pm (4pm Sundays). For more information on the exhibition visit our dedicated webpage.
