Ouch!
It's being run by local volunteers who don't have the capacity to take postal entries. The gallery is only open Saturdays so there's no 1 here to accept or process entries in wk. It's great to hear you're keen to exhibit here - really sorry we/they can't accommodate you this time.

We think they're tulip chairs by Eero Saarinen from the 50s. Lots of reproductions out there now. They're so iconic/of their time.

TOMORROW! We'll be tabling at the #AnarchistBookFair in the legendary Leake Street Tunnels.

The second pic is from last year's fair in Shoreditch - just to give you an idea of what to look out for. But this time we'll be surrounded by graffiti. Busman's holiday innit.

See you all there!

Just a gentle reminder. Forgot to mention that there's also a fantastic exhibition of art on the walls by local artists.

Would love to see you there.

We were planning for Hereford to be the last outing for the pin-up version of Outsiders, and to close all bookings with Glasgow being the last display. In light of the positive feedback from the exhibition in Cromer we have decided to make the pin-up version available as long as there is demand.

Davenant 📸 @marcdavenant.bsky.social · Aug 21

If you are in Norfolk and want to see the Outsiders exhibition it opens next in Cromer on 29 August at the Artspace on the Prom.
