The Art Café is situated upstairs within the Pavilion Gardens Café. It is an extension of the Gallery in the Gardens where members periodically host exhibitions, both solo and group, at two-month intervals. This enables artists to exhibit current work including large scale and other work precluded from the main gallery space downstairs.
All exhibitions are FREE and accessible from 9:30 ‘til close every day.
10th June – 2nd August
‘STITCHED UP! (AGAIN)’
New Stitched Portraits by Tracey Coverley
Returning to the Art Café for the festival season following last year’s award-winning show ‘STITCHED UP!’
Showcasing the new portraits by Tracey Coverley, this exhibition focusses on ‘Queens’ of one sort or another, people who have excelled in their chosen field.
Tracey’s obsession with textile portraiture continues with this series as she explores the medium of fabric and thread.
Venture up the café’s spiral staircase and spend some time with this gang of illustrious figures, they’re just waiting to meet you!
The exhibition runs until 2nd August 2024.
