Come to the the evening reception of our upcoming exhibition: Euro Wales 92 Group: Then & Now
Opens Thursday 6th June - 6-8pm. All welcome.
The idea of the Euro-Wales 92 Group arose out of an art summer school started in 1991. This exhibition showcaes work produced in the years in and around the group's formation (1987-97) and within the last ten years (2014-24); a dynamic ‘then and now’ arrangement which reveals personal and wider continuities and changes.
"Thirty years on from our beginnings, we are now a new mix of twelve exhibitors: three, original, founder members (Robert Greetham, Glyn Pooley and Ceri Thomas) plus nine new contributors (Tony Alcock, Jenny Allan, Heather Eastes, Lorna Edmiston, Mary Husted, Dilys Jackson, Gus Payne, Gerda Roper and Alan Salisbury). In other words, six women and six men, all of whom remain convinced that, despite Brexit and because of the plight of Ukraine, we in Wales need to maintain a collective sense of being European.
