Come June, and it is art exhibition season. Clubs, galleries, collectives, individuals, open studios: you name it, all opening their doors to the public.
Most artists taking part in these events hope for a sale or two. That’s only natural. The greatest compliment for them is when someone else loves their work enough to buy a piece of their art. Such a buzz!
But it is not always about the selling. The 5+2 Collective, for example, is a group of local artists who like to get together a couple or three times a year to show their work, catch up with each other, enjoy the event and interact with the public, gaining valuable feedback and inspiration, influencing their future creations.
The usual 5 will be displaying their work, the +2 being two new faces, so expect a change in genre with something different to look at this time: digital art, a 21st century medium.
Even though you will see some 3-D art, this is not a craft fair. There will be pictures and prints, large and miniature at prices to suit all pockets, but paintings on small 'objets', too.
The 5+2 Collective looks forward to welcoming you at our 2nd exhibition this year, from 10am-5pm over the weekend of June 7 and 8 in the main hall at St. Mary’s Centre, Lion Street, Rye TN31 7LB.
