An ArtCan Exhibition sponsored by Suna Interior Design

25th – 31st October 2024
‘Downstairs at The Department Store’ – 248 Ferndale Road, Brixton, SW9 8FR
Curators: Rebecca Tucker, Lee Eveson and Jill Desborough

Strands…

· different parts of an idea, a plan, a story, etc 

· an element that forms part of a complex whole.

70 artists, working across a variety of media within their own practice.

Many artists work in more than one medium, and this exhibition has been conceived as an unusual opportunity to show these differing strands of their creative practice in one space.  

Painting, sculpture, textiles, drawing, photography, ceramics, printmaking, book art and installations will all be on show in this multi-disciplinary exhibition.
