First exhibition
YOUTH Arts Award winner Will Hazzard will also have work on show in the Natural Spaces and Faces exhibition, opening at BMEC from 6pm-8pm on Friday, December 2.
This is the first group exhibition of ‘Artshed’, an Artist Run Initiative of artists with and without disability supported by Arts OutWest and Accessible arts.
“I thought it would be a great opportunity for me as a young artist at the start of my career,” said 15-year-old Will, the youngest member of the group.
“I am looking forward to the exhibition and the chance for lots of people to see my work.”
The ‘Artshed’ artists are involved in a 12-month program of professional development including workshops, training and day trips to arts organisations or exhibitions.
This exhibition includes photography, painting, weaving and cartooning. Artists involved are: Heather Burdette; Nicole Cullen; Alesha Elbourne; Stefan Elbourne; Ian Hazzard; Kelly Hazzard; William Hazzard; John Jones; Lanny Mackenzie; Allegra Salter, Claire Woolmington and Peter Wolsely.
The exhibition will run until December 16.
