AugTember Newsletter!

Have you been enjoying the sunshine? The third member of SHOP has been... 




That's right: AugTember.  We created this new month last year to conveniently create a gap in time that allows us to go on holiday and whadoyaknow - it's back again this year!  More on our hours whilst we're away in the newsletter below.
Lots happened in July, you can check out our blog roll for all the news and of course our Monday Stock Blogs continue apace (well, weekly).  Brett got inspired by his exhibition to create some electrical tape art (it's the next big thing, look it up) all around shop, some is displayed below:

There's also lots happening this month, with continuing diversity in the Arts Space and plenty more between now and Christmas (sorry to mention Christmas).


EXHIBITIONS!

Secret and Ciphers

July 30th – August 4th

Artworks And Objects By Stella Man and Jay Blackwood

STELLA MAN
Stella’s pen and ink drawings are a series of images and random thoughts embedded in the handmade paper.
They reveal themselves creating their own meaning.
Her photographs focus in on everyday scenes, transforming them into something else.
Come and discover what they convey to you.
JAY BLACKWOOD
Jay’s work is inspired by Surrealism and Outsider Art.
Using found objects, toys, images and text his pieces are influenced by artists as diverse as Magritte, Duchamp and Cornell. Dark humour, the mining of repressed material, word-play, and the operations of objective chance come together in an enchanted, humorous and sometimes sinister world of assemblages and objects.
