Can’t believe that it’s been a week since the exhibition closed! We loved seeing all the work together and being enjoyed by so many members of the public. Over 100 of whom shared their thoughts and engaged with the art by voting for their favourite art work.
We are thrilled to be able to celebrate the Peoples Choice Winner for his piece Queen’s Park Blue. Brian is the recipient of a framing voucher from donated by IPSARI
Runners Up with bragging rights were a close second with .katn and . And a Special Mention for crowd favourite to for his very striking piece.

Photos never really do an artwork justice.
There is something magical that happens when you stand in front of a piece of art. Some of the artists soul seeps into you. And the longer you look at it the more you understand what they are trying to say.
Come and experience some of that magic!
Today is the last day to see the whole collection of "The View From Here" exhibition in person. Artists will begin collecting their works at 2pm today.
So ... if you want to check out these fabulous works today is the day. The gallery will be open from 10am this morning and must close this afternoon at 3pm

It has been really nice to see the gallery fill up with people over the past week. The art on display has touched so many people for lots of different reasons. All the artists have interpreted the theme in their own unique ways and hearing the comments from visitors about why they like this one or the other has been interesting.
Like all good things the show has to end and all the artwork will go home on Sunday afternoon. But it’s not too late to visit and enjoy these views - open 10-3pm each day till Sunday 27th.
Massive thanks to .waschevski for the photos!
