For this Autumn/Winter exhibition of 2020, we have chosen the theme of ‘Hope’. As I’m sure you will all agree, this year has been strange and difficult – and that is probably an understatement for many – but, in communities across the world, hope has never given way to despair, and creativity has shone through to represent this across social media and the great wide web of the interworld. Just think of all those beautiful rainbows children have painted this year…
As such, we are looking for creative works, of all kinds, that represent, symbolise, and/or explicitly show ‘Hope’ in all its’ generous and splendid glory.
This theme of hope does not have to be associated with the Covid pandemic (although, of course it can). We are looking for work that shows Hope as a universal entity at all times of humanity. Think outside the box, think inside the box, and think like there is no box at all. Think of hope as something that has inspired you, that has influenced your community, that sits in nature, or perhaps sits within you… It is an open ended and wonder filled theme.
