It's the last day of Art Box.
I'm heartbroken - when I came here a year and a half ago it was my first ever curatorial position.

Just to remind you all - we are open Wednesday-Saturday this week, 10am-4pm.
More artists are removing their pieces from the gallery so stocks are very limited right now. Please, come in and buy whilst they are still here - many pieces are reduced.

We're at 2 weeks until we close now. It's bittersweet - so many artists have come forward with stories of how the gallery helped them, and even though I was only here for half its tenure, it's still really meaningful to hear how small art spaces hold space in the community.

Spent a moment tweaking the lighting on a few of our textured pieces today—makes such a difference seeing artwork catch the light just right. Sometimes the smallest shifts bring the most depth.

We promise everything’s right-side-up again… probably.
But while you're here — what colour feels most like April to you?
🌸 Pink
🌧 Blue
🍃 Green
🌞 Yellow
And which piece in the gallery do you think is the best example?

For many artists—especially mothers and carers—creativity isn’t just an outlet. It’s a way to work without barriers.
No clock-ins. No need to justify the school run. Just space to make, care, and grow.
Happy Mothers Day to so many of our wonderful artists!

We'll send Plaguey D out at the next available opportunity. Think there's actually a few doors that need doing at the moment. But we would also advise taking a sick day, if you can. We've seen what can happen if you don't prioritise your health! Get well soon.
