International Women’s Day Exhibition

International Women’s Day takes place on 8^th March with the official theme this year being #GiveToGain. We are therefore very excited to be hosting an open call exhibition based on our theme of ‘Celebrating the positives of Giving, Supporting and Inspiring’.

The exhibition features work of different mediums from creatives from the local community.

When we give our time, love and help, support one another, make positive connections, and inspire others, we can create opportunities to thrive and rise, and we want to celebrate that!

Alongside the exhibition, we are inviting visitors to the Arts Centre, to celebrate who or what inspires them. Simply pick up a card and write down or draw your inspiration then add to our wall of celebration!

The Art Swap shop will also be open in the gallery for you to swap your no longer needed art and craft materials.

We also have some exciting events forming part of our International Women’s Day Exhibition Celebrations.

On Friday 6^th March we welcome Louise Jordan to the St George’s Arts Centre with her one-women show ‘Behind Enemy Lines’ honoring the inspirational lives of some of history’s lesser-known women through music, songs, storytelling, acting, soundscape and choreography.
