Exhibition Launch - Seeing Stars

See outer space through a different lens. Join us to celebrate the opening of the new ‘Seeing Stars’ exhibition.

We have had a long lasting fascination with outer space: from ancient civilisations who saw stories in the stars, to modern day technology bringing us closer than ever to the cosmos.

This exhibition shines a light on contemporary artists who use and challenge the newest technologies for space imaging in their art practice. The artists in this exhibition bring the human sense of wonder back into sharp focus – blurring the line between fact and fiction.

Discover new contemporary artists, and ask yourself: what do you see when looking at the stars?

The exhibition opening is free to attend and all are welcome. Booking required.

Schedule:

Exhibition viewing and refreshments from 6pm

Welcome remarks at 6.15pm

Exhibition available for viewing until 8pm

Seeing Stars is on display in The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery from 27 April - 30 July 2022. Open Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 - 17:00. Free to visit, and open to everyone.
