We all need a bit of joy in our lives! Art brings joy to so many and over 70 artists across media are exhibiting their work in response to this theme.
Art to lift your spirits and elicit strong emotion. From crazy oversized ice lollies made from reclaimed wood, to delicate abstract watercolours, large 50s style textile hangings to handmade mixed media baubles – the range of styles, scale, price points and character of every hand made work of art in the show comes together to deliver a truly joyful exhibition.
“I believe that visual art has the power to lift the spirits in the same way, music, dance and poetry do for so many. Most people experience challenges in their lives and who doesn’t need a bit of joy?” – Karen Sherwood, director and founder of Cupola Gallery.
Works are for sale. Prices from £10 upwards.
