Exhibitions

Our exhibition space is the backdrop for capturing the ethos of the charity; the promotion of excellence in art, craft and design.

We aim to nurture enjoyment, appreciation and understanding of these skills among the widest possible range of people.

To this end, we offer a programme of exhibitions to fire the imagination, stimulate learning, and encourage people to explore new thoughts and ideas.

 A3ROCKSPOSTERWEBSITE

 

From 21 May we're taking part in Chelsea Fringe - a festival celebrating and encouraging us all to engage with our landscape, gardening and the natural world. As part of the Fringe we are creating our own rock garden (sponsored by Indoor Garden Design) in the atrium, surrounded by work from jewellers and goldsmiths' whose inspiration comes from geological formations.

If you can't get to London for the exhibition, have a look at the pieces in the exhibition on our Pinterest Board.

We don't stop there, come and enjoy some of the events that we have alongside the exhibition…
