The concept of murmuration echoes the way artists Carol Clitheroe, Jacq Chorlton and Tich Dixon connect and share inspiration: a pushing and pulling of ideas, thrown to the wind and then later chased down and re-worked until finally they are resolved into artworks of unique beauty and meaning.
Join us on Sun 14 July, 2pm to meet the artists and explore the stories behind their work.More...
Exhibition dates: 28 June - 28 July, Open Wed-Sun, 10am-4pm.
