At the start of the summer, In A Space was able to use an empty commercial property previously home to Margo Selby’s Textiles studio and offices to facilitate an exhibition and raise funds to supplement other creative programs.
The venue seemed perfect for an exhibition. Thankfully the previous tenants had installed exhibition boarding in 2 areas and exhibition suitable lighting. Due to the fact the building had been vacant for a few months, our team of staff and volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got the space ready for exhibition.
In the meantime, we put out an open call for artists which was free to enter with a reasonable commission on sales which encouraged emerging artists to take part. We received an exciting variety of submissions with paintings, prints, ceramics and more by a collection of Kent-based artists who are listed below:
Melanie Jordan | Mark Farrow |
Judith Westrup | Carole Jones |
Uli Jaeger | Molly Lambourn |
Stephen Larking | Callisto Searle |
Julie Swinerd | Angie Michal |
Lucy Boutwood | Susanna Woodruff |
Nicole Antras | Carey Still |
Christie Grant |
After a very successful exhibition where circa 170 members of the public visited and we sold over £1000 worth of artwork; we decided to make the middle wall venue the home of our creative hub where to this day we host Exhibitions, workshops, Community Projects and much more.
