Here's what's happening in our creative space, the Sail Loft, above the NaviStitch shop on Manningtree High Street over the coming weeks...
This week...
Our Summer Vibes exhibition is going swimmingly. We're so pleased to be able to support so many established and new artists, some of whom are exhibiting for the first time. Our preview evening was fun - lots of artists met with our guests and shared an insight into their work.
Quite a few pieces have gone off to their new homes so, in order to keep our walls full of fabulous art, each artist is bringing another piece in if one of theirs sells - if you make a second visit, you'll therefore notice a few changes. Mixing it up is keeping the exhibition fresh and we've still got another 2 weeks of amazing art! For opening times and more info: https://www.navistitch.com/summerexhibition
If you missed it, last week we outlined profiles of each of the artists in our newsletter - take a look here: https://www.navistitch.com/post/summer-vibes-are-here
Our exhibition is on from now until 30th July and we're here Wednesdays to Sundays, 10am to 4pm - it'd be great to see you.
